Today, the car collection is over 400 strong. The origins of the collection stem from the Trust's historic beginnings as Leyland Historic Vehicles but it now encompasses models from all of the British motor industry. This includes smaller manufacturers such as Morgan, Lotus and Reliant, as well as the mainstream producers from the past, such as Austin, Morris, Hillman and Triumph.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust also works closely with the heritage arms of Britain's major car concerns, including Ford, Jaguar and Vauxhall, to bring some of their historic vehicles to the Museum for visitors to enjoy.
