Summary

Description

1901 Columbia Electric American The electric car had a certain popularity at the turn of the century. Because it was silent and fumeless, this car was bought by Queen Alexandra for driving around the grounds of Sandringham House. It is fitted with a foot-operated bell instead of a horn. R.G.J. Nash acquired it for his collection at Brooklands in the 1930s, he later drove it regularly when petrol was rationed. Cylinders: n/a Valves: n/a Capacity: n/a Power Output: n/a Maximum Speed: 12mph Price New: Not quoted Manufacturer: Electric Vehicle Company, Hartford, Connecticut Owner: Richard and Mary Nash

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
