Cotswold Motoring Museum, UK
Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire is a beautiful village of historic limestone houses, meandering canals and green parks. It is a major tourist attraction in itself but it also has a fine motoring museum, the Cotsworld Motoring and Toy Museum. https://www.cotswoldmotoringmuseum.co.uk/
The museum is housed in a former mill. It is not a huge museum and the collection isn't extensive, with only some 40 cars and motorcycles. The museum is very well laid out with lots of interesting displays, including a large collection of toys.
