National Motor Museum, Beaulieu
Visit their website |
From the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons, the world-famous National Motor Museum has one of the finest collections of cars, motorcycles and motoring memorabilia in the world.
The Film, Video and Sound Collection was established at the National Motor Museum in 1979. Initially collecting focused on British motor manufacturers, many of whom were ceasing trading or changing ownership in the 1980s. Obtaining items from these sources became a rescue mission, to avoid their film and video material being destroyed. In addition, a number of private motoring-themed collections were obtained, mainly amateur footage from motoring enthusiasts, giving an insight into how the motor car influenced leisure pursuits of the families featured.
