UK spot home to one of the world’s best car museums that ‘transports you to another era’ – & you can race antique motors
BRITAIN is hiding a car museum that “transports you to another era”.
Brooklands in Surrey boasts antique motors, supercars and you can even steps inside a Concorde jet.
Visitors to the Weybridge attraction are thrown into a world of motor sport and aviation innovation.
And what’s more, the nostalgia spot allows Brits to race their motors round its very own track.
The museum has attracted rave reviews, with many saying it is the best outing they’ve ever had.
One happy punter said: “I am not particularly a motorcar or aircraft enthusiast but I loved the museum.
“I had no idea it was such a great place to visit.”
Another said it was worth coughing up an extra £6.50 to get on Concorde.
