Yes, the museum is open Tuesday-Sunday. Mondays they are closed as they switch cars and drive them around to give them their "exercise".

Every single one of the cars function which are on display. There are quite a few from 1903-1925 which still work as well. There is even one from 1898, it doesn't classify as a car, but it had a one cylinder engine

Jas, that's just the tip of the iceberg, there are SOOO many more cars which I didn't take photos of as I just couldn't focus He has a WHOLE bunch of Camaro SS, Shelby GT500 etc. Apparently there are about 300 vehicles, I've only see about 130 odd of them. The Alfa's that were there last time are not there, neither were the VW's or Auto Union vehicles. They swapped them out for the Jaguars and Vintage Ferrari's.

Beautiful collection, a little (or not so little) gem in a great part of Africa.
I still think Carn needs to work his magic there, alot of the cars paint could do with work.
