Is this place worth a visit?

Post by balmy » Thu Apr 09, 2009 1:50 pm

Just found this museum that appears to have a TC in its collection.

Just wondered if anyone has been there and whether its worth a visit?

Dave,

I believe the TC at Attwell Wilson Museum is a jubilee. I was talking to a guy from the museum at Shepton Mallet classic car show last year. He said they often have car clubs visiting during the summer, and have plenty of parking.

The museum is not too far from me, but I've never been there. Could be worth a run one Sunday.

Dave King from Reading showed an interest in meeting up there with the Berkshire branch.


If there is enough interest, I could make some enquiries 8)

Thought it might be a Jubilee. If I get time I was thinking of popping up there some time soon.

A 'meet' there sounds like a good idea. Count me in! :D

Hi Dave,

This place is worth a visit and i can confirm the TC is a jubilee!

It is just up the road from me (a mile!), there is a large collection of classic cars and motorcycles including a load of american motors.
There is plenty to see, spread between various buildings and they hold numerous events including a Classic vehicle show on july 12th!
We visit from time to time and even enquired about using the TC as one of our wedding cars (understeer winter 2008!) but it would have cost to much to recomission!

Hope this helps, drop us a pm is you need anymore info on area etc.

Also count me in if you meet up!

Dan :D

Yes it is a Jubilee!! :D

I went up there a couple of years ago before I got mine to enquire if they wanted to sell it! It has 124K (if I remember) on the clock and still in good shape.

Here are some pictures!! And it is well worth a visit 8)

A part from having crap wheel trims and the Jubilee badges in the wrong place it is a good Jubilee!
Been well looked after all its life.
