A very interesting museum. I knew Coventry was important within the transport industry but I didn't know just how important. A great selection of vehicles and motorcycles. I was surprised that there weren't more Triumph motorcycles, given the company was founded next to Coventry Cathedral. A worthwhile day out and good value for money
There is a lot to take in here. If you have children currently Children 5-16 £8-£9, Under 4 s free - but cheaper with GO CV 2025 then it is filled with activities for them to do. I think it is always like this - not just during school holidays when I visited.nnThere is a good range of locally built cars, bikes and motor cycles.nThe Jaguar 'section' brings a modernity to the historical units here, as does the Land Speed Record Thrusts 1 and 2.nI was hoping to see a Jaguar C or D type but sadly not here.nnThere are a few tractors, light military vehicles, trucks and buses, but the vast majority of the displays are cars and motor bikes and cycles'.nThe Triumph / 1970's / 80s sections were good - the range is fairly narrow as they are Coventry or locally built models.nI couldn't quite get why there were some examples from Birmingham and surrounding areas - there were a lot missing if that's the rationale. Still, better to see them than not.nnIt isn't as big as I thought from the outside. I like to see inside the vehicles but there were a lot where I couldn't do this, partly because of the way they were displayed - maybe not enough room?nI think it was the unpainted monocoque shell of a Jaguar XJ220 hanging vertically - but I couldn't see any info on that.nnSignage was generally OK. The basic floor plan map attached could do with a bit more detail I thought, as could some of the displays.nnThe 4D simulator wasn't working on my visit 30th Oct 2025nnHowever, apart from the small bits of nit-picking above, there were so many interesting things to see.nThere were several unexpected delights too. Cars using fabric instead of metal, cut-aways of cars and car parts, some really unique cars, the 85th anniversary Blitz section, a huge collection of model die-casts e.g. Matchbox and much more.nnDefinitely worth the entrance price - which is cheaper if booked online.nThe ticket is valid for readmission for a year. So, maybe when I come back and I will I will get to try the 4D simulator.nnI had intended to adopt a vehicle!, but for £100 a year, that didn't seem good value on inspection.nnI also had a coffee at Baxter Baristas enclosed in the museum. It was pretty good. The home-made cakes looked tempting too.nnThe toilet facilities only seemed accessible if you used the cafe?nnI parked very close-by at Bishop Street Car Park CV1 1JN. Cash - i.e. change, or app only. A reasonable price for a heavily pot-holed lot. Not sure if there are any security cameras here - certainly not visible.nNo directions to the museum from here though and about a 4 minute walk.
Easily a must see if visiting Coventry. I'm personally not a huge car fanatic, but there's no other place where you're gonna get to see the two fastest land vehicles ever made. That alone is worth the visit.nnTickets are £15 if booked in advance and a around £16.50 if booked in-person on the day for adults. However, while the ticket is valid for multiple entries for a span of 1 year either way, I'd recommend booking online in advance simply because it's cheaper.
Great museum, with lots of interesting cars and bikes from all times. Including the record-breaking Thrust 2 and similar vehicles. Takes around 2 hours to finish the whole museum, take that into consideration when parking your car.nThe one day tickets are only available for Coventry residents.
Brilliant vehicle museum devoted to products made in Coventry or nearby. Huge collection very well presented. Interactive section for smaller children. Cars, bikes, motorbikes, lorries, armoured cars, buses, fire engines and the world's fastest cars.
