This one is for all of the car fans! With over 100 classic cars on display, the Classics Museum is a must see! But it’s not just cars on display. Their collection encompasses a range of interests including an extensive collection of petrol memorabilia – enamel signs, pumps, tins, and oil bottles. There is something Classic for the whole family, they cater for a wide range of interests with vintage toys, pedal cars, and scenes from early New Zealand. It’s considered one of Hamilton’s best attractions.
Their cars range from 1918 all the way to 1987. They have Belair, Auburn, Cadillac… all the classics! They have restored a 1937 Bedford bus, once used to take local Hamilton children to school. Watch out for a tiny three wheeled car called the Messerschmidt, immediately identifiable by its transparent bubble canopy. And their prized possession; the 1937 Bugatti. The Bugatti is one of only three of its kind ever manufactured. Tom, the founder of the museum purchased the car in a French auction after the vehicle was found in a barn where it had been sitting for more than 40 years. Follow the Bugatti journey here.
They recommend you give yourself 60-90 minutes to look around the museum.
