Cars of the Stars

Cumbria

http://members.aol.com/cotsmm/cotspg2.html

As a result of Granada TV approaching Peter D. Nelson and asking to borrow his MG TC for use in one of their productions. This led to him deciding to build a motor museum comprising celebrity television and film vehicles. These rare cars are shown to their maximum advantage and in context with its film and television career. Each vehicle is displayed in its individual film set, with atmospheric lighting and sound playing a part. Houses and mountains have been constructed, muddy battlefields and bomb sites built, all to give a further dimension to the display. The result is a feat of nostalgia for the visitor and a glimpse into the fantasy world of television and film.

Take a look at the website, it's good!

Open: 10.00am - 5.00pm

Adults: £3.50

Children: £2.50
