The Franschhoek Motor Museum

Franschhoek

Activity Description

The Franschhoek Motor Museum offers visitors a special opportunity to look back at more than 100 years of motoring history with its unique and exciting collection of vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and memorabilia in the magnificent setting of L’Ormarins. Across the length and breadth of Southern Africa, only one place can adequately portray the evolution of the automobile, The Franschhoek Motor Museum.
The museum’s collection exceeds 220 vehicles – ranging from an 1898 Beeston motor tricycle to a 2003 Ferrari Enzo supercar – and more than 80 exhibits will be on view at any one time, displayed in four de-humidified halls with a total floor area of 2700 m², and presented in chronological order.

Customer Reviews

We loved our visit to the museum and really enjoyed the mix of the different cars and the history displayed along side. A fascinating insight into the development of the automobile. We visited partly because we were in the area and partly because we wanted to find the car driven by Sam Tingle. We know his cousin and the family was keen to find out where the car was. They were so happy that we were able to find the car and provide some of the history for them. We would highly recommend a visit especially for those who love learning about automobile history and seeing the cars in such wonderful condition. - Judi


Fabulous place will definitely do it again - Anet


The Franschhoek Motor Museum is outstanding, offering beautiful examples of automotive history and development. Even if you are not particularly interested in cars, the overview of changing design and aesthetics is fascinating. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and keen to share their enthusiasm. - Jane
