Car collection at Blackhawk Motor Museum, CA

Spent an hour yesterday going round Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, and thought I would share some pics.

Anyone one should be able to see these pics (even those Facebook haters without an account ;-) ). Amazing place, and all the cars are privately owned, lent to to the museum, and driven atleast once a year. I was amazed at how many had UK numberplates as well. Some of the large Rolls Royces and Bentleys must be a sight on the road. Apparently one guy owns about 65% of the entire collection.

 

Here's a link to the website as well, for some better photos.

Seems a bit like Brooklands as they have regular car shows and owners club meets.

Looked like a cool place to wander around a proper GT40 too :thumbleft:

Honestly, it was such an amazing place, it is well worth a visit to anyone who's visiting the area. The collection does change as well - cars come and go as the owners decide to show different ones.
