The Collection: Established in December 1979, the York Motor Museum is now recognised as one of the finest private collections of Veteran, Vintage, Classic and Racing Cars in Australia. Housing the Peter Briggs collection of approximately 150 vehicles, the museum presents the evolution of motor transport with prime examples of the finest quality and workmanship from each era.

Hesitated and suggested my partner went on his own. So glad i was urged to join him. Great display of old cars from the 1901 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost through to a great collectio of Toyotas fro the 60's ... Something for everyone - you won't be disappoited

We had e very enjoyable few hours roaming around and reading up on these beauties from days gone past. My brother, being a car restorer himself, was impressed with the standard of cars present and was unstoppable in showing his exitement. Thanks to all those involved in keeping this museum going and being part of York, WA

There are a great variety of vehicles from a gypsy caravan to early horseless carriages, to a variety of sleek and quirky cars. You don't have to be a motoring fanatic to enjoy what's on offer, for children and adults alike.

Not much to do on a trip to York, especially in the summer when it's stinking hot. Visited the museum after a liesurely lunch & thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and history of the cars on show

Only a shadow of the early days when this place made it's name. Dirty and unorganised with most of the best original cars sold or gone.

A great collection of vintage cars, if that is your passion. If planning a visit check that it is still open.
