We live close to Taunton, not sure if the building is big enough for a car museum? We do have Haynes just up the road at Sparkford which is quite big too.

I did wonder much the same when looking at the photos, we called in for a return visit to Haynes last week.

i have met the chap who is doing the museum, he brought along one of his latest aquisitions, a yellow mk2 consul to a local meet last month.
he said he has 80 odd cars and lots of motoring related items as well.
hopefully it will be well supported.
