Although not huge this is definitely a must for those with an interest in cars. We were shown round by the owner who was knowledgeable and charming. The range of cars was impressive.

It's a great find for us as my husband's a classic car fan. Errol was so interesting to listen to, but you're also free to wander around on your own. A lovely selection of cars.

A worthwhile stop to admire some British Beauties. This collection has many cars of significance to Barbados history.

This is a very nice collection of interesting cars housed in a charming garage. Each has a written detailed history. Lots of Barbados rally and sports car history and memorabilia as well.

We were walking from our hotel and noticed this motor museum in Hastings. The owner himself, Bill Mallalieu, showed around his amazing collection. My husband enjoyed talking to Bill about his varied car collection as well pictures, memorablia and his memories. They also discussed at length the demise of the great British car industry. Well worth a visit.

What an amazing collection. All are pieces of art and are wonderful to look at. I am sad I missed the owner as he is apparently only there in the AM and we went just after lunch. Worth it for anyone who loves cars, design, art and more!

We just loved this place! I really do NOT like cars and have little interest in them. However, the owner of this amazing collection gave us a tour and enthusiastically talked about why he had chosen each of the collection models. What was really amazing was the setting: not a shiney museum but a working space which showed the cars off in a realisitc, authentic space. Well worth doing whether you're an enthusiast or not!!

Not that big a collection but every car has a story attached which the owner is glad to impart.

The stories are fascinating and make the collection come to life, the 400,000 plus mile Volvo that the owner used to rally in Jamaica, the Rover that was stored away for years to avoid being seized by the taxman, the Daimler limo that the Queen has actually sat in, the Willys Jeep that saw action in Korea etc. etc.

The tour is excellent value for around the hour you'll spend there and the owner is fascinating and certainly knows his cars.

Highly recommended!
