We are working in partnership with the British Motor Museum, home to the largest collection of historic British cars and motor industry archive in the world.

The 2,000,000 items held in the Museum and Archive tell a myriad of individual stories, revealing the history of those employed within the industry and the social impact of Britain’s automotive manufacturing. Last year the Museum shared these stories with 200,000 visitors.
