Motor Museum





Deep in the East Lothian countryside lies a unique little motor museum.

The collection, started in 1966, is comprised of cars, commercial vehicles,motorbikes,pedal bikes,
toy cars and all manner of related memorabilia.
 



Most of the vehicles are in running order -  some take part in rallies and film shoots.
I've shown a small selection of what was on show the day we visited.




1938 Citroen traction avant (front wheel drive)
The model was first introduced in 1934.

The car shown here was restored in 1984 for the 50th anniversary and took part in the
Paris-Moscow-Paris rally organised to commemorate the event.
