Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours here yesterday afternoon.
the staff were putting the final touches to a 1908(i think) Pannard ready for MOT so it could be used in the London to Brighton run in November.

The museum is a workshop where the cars are being worked on as well as a display area and the cafe in the mill ...
