Not for everyone, but as one reviewer put it... "This is the most fantastic museum I have visited in South Africa. It has lots of vintage cars as well a Convair plane." © AutomuseumsWijnland Auto Museum - Cape Town, Western Cape
The Wijnland Auto Museum, located in Joostenberg Vlaakte aproximately 30kms from Cape Town, is a fascinating destination for automobile enthusiasts and history buffs. Established to showcase a diverse collection of vintage and classic cars, the museum offers a glimpse into the evolution of automotive design and technology over the decades. The museum is not a traditional motor museum. Think of it as a museum within a "scrap yard" as there are many vehicles that have been left to weather outside. Reviews are mixed, but for true "petrol-heads" it will certainly be of interest. There's even an old Convair 580 aircraft to explore!
The collection at Wijnland Auto Museum includes a wide range of vehicles, from early 20th-century automobiles to mid-century classics. Visitors can explore various models and makes, including rare and exotic cars that are seldom seen elsewhere. The museum’s exhibits often feature detailed information about the history and significance of each vehicle, providing educational insights into the development of automotive engineering and design.
In addition to its impressive collection of cars, the Wijnland Auto Museum is known for its commitment to preserving and restoring vintage vehicles. Many of the cars on display have been meticulously restored to their original condition, showcasing the dedication and expertise of the museum's staff. The museum also hosts events and special exhibitions, offering opportunities for visitors to engage with the world of classic automobiles in unique and interactive ways.
The Wijnland Auto Museum provides a unique experience for visitors, combining historical education with the enjoyment of beautifully restored vehicles. Its location in Cape Town makes it an accessible destination for both locals and tourists, offering a distinctive attraction within the city's vibrant cultural landscape.
