I was fortunate enough to be in the vicinity of this museum which was founded by John Haynes the publisher who created the Haynes Owners / Workshop manuals which are well known throughout automotive literature.


Very impressive, not expensive and your ticket is valid for a whole year so I hope to return sometime in 2026.

Here is my selection of the photos I took during my visit.

The Czech Tatra was of particular interest as it seemed to tip it's hat to MB (Sacco) design styling of around the era.

Only a couple of MBs on display but a really eclectic mix of cars from all eras and backgrounds - in summary. well worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.

Happy New Year to all E500 board members!!!
