Our first photoshoot during the summer recess was at the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum in Calne, where we enjoyed a private viewing of their car, motorcycle and motoring memorabilia collection.

The majority of their 100+ exhibits were cars from the 1920’s onwards including Rolls Royces, a Daimler and many more models that were familar to us from our teenage years, and early motoring experiences. In addition to the cars there was a collection of motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles along with a very impressive display of hand made model lorries and an extensive model car display. A separate, smaller hall housed some commercial vehicles and a few American cars with their distinctive styling.

A Williams FW10 Formula 1 car was also on display and there was a reconstructed 1930’s style garage complete with vehicles.

The Museum is described as a “hidden gem” and is certainly worth a visit.
