Earlier in the year we called by the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.

The scale of the collection is mighty impressive, and well worth looking in on if in the area. There was a fair bit of re-development work taking place outside at the time of our visit, which should make viewing the cars a little easier. The lighting in certain halls wasn't the best for taking photos, but hopefully the pictures will capture the essence of what's on display.

This is the first batch of photos, the second set will be added later.

Photos 1-75.













































































The second set of photos from the museum can now be found here:

Glad you like them, iirc there's another SD1 estate at Gaydon.

There is another one at Gaydon, which I thought was unique.
Used by Michael Edwardes when he was in command at British Leyland.

Well worth it, there are some real rarities on display. I'll upload the second set of photos soon.

Hi
Do you know the reg of the Bristol 401?
It would be interesting to find out if it is on the register.

I'll check again but I don't think I got a front-on shot of it.
