As I was driving past on Saturday with time to spare, I decided to make a visit.
Best described as disappointing. The best part of £10 to see rows of cars in a fairly sterile eviroment. Very little in the way of added value to the displays - the few words of description with most cars added very little to my knowledge - although I did only spend time reading at those vehicles in which I had some existing interest.
The layout of the displays appeared as random, with almost an emphasis on grouping by color! Although having now read the Wiki page I now understand that there is some logic in the display halls.
A distinct lack of what I would regard as some of the icons of the history of british cars with notable omissions of cars on display.
Anybody else had a similar views/experience?

But as a contrast I then came across the Wessex Vintage Fair, a 2 day event at Trowbridge,- a real value for money event at £3.00 - with an eclectic mix of exhibits - from a collectors display of oil cans/grease guns, thro antique garden machinery, to full size traction engines.
The most sucessful' exhibitors' were those selling tarpaulins! But I did enjoy the best part of a dry 2 hrs!
