Classics Museum
Go back in time at Classics Museum, dedicated to the cool, slick designs of yesteryear. The museum specializes in classic cars, with everything from the J40 Austin pedal car to the 1974 Fiat 124 Sports Spider. However, the real emphasis lies with retro aesthetics, encompassing automobiles and beyond. Traditional toys and vintage pinball machines complete the look of the museum's exhibit space, while the 1950s-themed diner serves up all things American.

It is a little tucked away on the outskirts of Hamiliton, but worth the trip ( under 10 mins ) . It has a diner out the front, and then out the back is an Aladdin's cave of car and motor treasures...

We had a great time at the Classics Museum, was there just a couple of days ago! We spent ages looking around, taking photos of all the beautifully presented, and kept vintage and retro vehicles...

The museum was very pleasant. Not too big but plenty to see either way! Museum: 4/5 stars We decided to eat in the dinner before going in the museum. The food was quiet alright. The menu said their kitchen closed at 3 pm and we were done eating 2:20 pm. We had a long road trip ahead of us and their Southern Fried Chicken were really good, so we were gonna bring one of those for the road. When we tried to order, we were told the kitchen had already closed 40 min early. Very disappointing. The staff were not very welcoming and seemed bothered by our presences. Dinner: 3/5 stars Staff: 1/5 stars

I so enjoy this lovely cafe/museum. The staff are so lovely, quick to take and deliver your order. We actually had a takeaway breakfast of a huge omelet with salad on the side. There is a area where camper van's can park for the night if they want. So we saw a little man sitting on a box waiting patiently for his owners to take him for a trip.

Classic cars and memorabilia of years past remind us where we came from. What grandad might have driven or even dad. If not... it doesn't matter. It's a must visit.

Nice place for various car manufacturers. Some rare pieces are wonderful. Well organised show floor. Very recommended for classics enthusiasts
-
This is also part of the Jukebox Diner. Pretty cool place to visit when in Hamilton esp. if you like classic cars.
