It's in Hayes, Middlesex. It's basically a private collection of cool American and European cars, with an emphasis on modified cars. The collection is owned by a guy called Elo. The name of the museum is arguably a little fance for what is effectively a collection of cars in a warehouse! It is very very cool though! Linky. Scruff, they did start up one of the GT500s while we were they (as they were moving it from one spot to another). My god the noise! ;D |

Cool! Great pics. I went there this time last year, looks like not much has changed. My wife fell in love with the Snoop de Ville! Here's my photo thread. |

Nice collection they have there.
I remember them handing out flyers at Wheels Day. I then saw their RR at the Wilton Supercar day (and must admit it was probably my least favourite car there based on wheel choice).
I'm not sure I 'get it' though. Theirs is a great collection of cars, but am I the only one who thinks they have gone a bit OTP with the gangsta 20" rims being fitted to so many cars. So many quality old retro cars are spoilt as museum piece by those rims.
I'm not sure if it is a themed museum or a showroom of how your can ruin a car with oversized rims.
It would be like going to the V&A and all the mannequins wearing JD Sports trainers.

Nice place.
Did I read correctly that Joe's Axiam was purchased by the London Motor Musiem?
If so, I would love to know when it will be put out on show. Would be great to see the little thing mixing it up with some of those fantastic cars.

Nice collection marred by some awful 'choices of modification' to put it mildly. Totally with Alolympic. Also find it strange that amongst such a nice, quality collection of cars (many being pretty valuable) is such a bad replica of a Dino 246 GT.
There is some excellent stuff there though... Beige Charger on white 'vecs is a particularly glorious combination. That's more like it.
I must also add that I do quite like / appreciate the quirkiness of the collection. It's certainly not all to my taste but it's an interesting / distinctive selection nonetheless.

Lewis is right - this is where my little Aixam ended up! They had it on display at Wembley recently as part of their display at the Allstars Drift event too!
Just found this ;D

They did a little exhibition with about 30 cars in an ncp car park in central london earlier this year. i have been meaning to visit ever since and having seen your pics i'm deffo going!
i'm not sure either on the proliferation of massive shiny rims, i'd rather see them on smaller wheels but it works on some
