South Africa - Franschhoek Motor Museum




At a loss as to what to do on a rainy day in Cape Town?

The Franschhoek Motor Museum is ideal at any time but great on a rainy day even though one does have to walk outside as there are 4 huge showrooms.

Situated on the beautiful L'Ormarins Wine Estate, this amazing automobile collection spans 100 years of motoring history. The vehicles are all in immaculate condition and each has information available.



The range is vast and includes Antique (built before December 1904), Veteran (1905 - 1918), Vintage (1919 - 1930) Post Vintage (1931 - 1945) Post 1945 (1946 - 1960) and Post 1960

Memorabilia can be spotted on the walls - it's a history museum with a twist.


Started originally in Heidelberg by Dr. Anton Rupert, the collection was moved to Franschhoek by his son, Johann Rupert who added and enhanced this superb, world class, mind-blowing spectacle of well-preserved automobiles.

Ranging from Ferrari  F-40, F 50 and the Ferrari Enzo, you can also see the McLaren F1 that set a record in 1998 as the fastest road car in the world. And all the makes in between.....








Please note that viewing is by appointment only
