Ural Ataman Classic Car Museum, Istanbul

I love museums, and i love classic cars. Yet i never knew about this place until i heard about being an event there with two drifters and their cars being there. Two birds one stone. The place is kinda hard to get to at first, you have to get to the end of the M2 metro and take a bus there, then a good 3 min walk. Its in a place where you wouldn't expect a Museum would be in. Frankly its Small, but nice. Ticket was around 20-25TL as i recall. But once you step in, WHOA what do you see. Im staying from posting all the pics i have, purely so you can enjoy the collection yourself. Cars from the 20's up to the 70's but not newer. The capture the vibe and theme of that 50's era sooo well, its basically almost a time capsule, they have not only cars, but fuel pumps, and other items from old back in the days. There is some Bikes too, and loads of small figures and toy cars. What was creative and i love about it, since its a small museum, like Really small, there is a upper place for you to look up on these cars from, so you would see them from another angle. The collection is Beautiful, ranging from European to American, no japanese cars in this museum. There was also a small gift shop in the middle as well. And i would very recommend for you to go there if you had the time to, its very unexpected, not over the top, Just Right. Of and don't forget to sign on the book before you go out!

This place is something that you would never expect, it was a great experience for such a small price (20 TL), lots of classic cars that you see only in movies, a very nostalgic place, great music, bikes and old machines, tools and accessories, the place is not really big but i took my time appreciating every single car, the only bad thing is that it is open only 3 days a week, and even it is far from the city center, there are multiple ways to get there in like 30-40 minutes.

Very very impressive place. This private collection is opened for visitors for only 10 lire. There is smell of history. Really good condition of cars. And the most important thing that all cars are working and ready to drive.

Very impressive collection of cars and motorcycles, they are all restored to original specification, professionally maintained, and driven weekly. The Lincoln Continental and the Dodge Cornet were two of my favorites because you normally don't see them in an automobile museum. There are European cars that I have only seen pictures of. If you are a car enthusiast you won't be disappointed.

If you love historical motor vehicles (cars, trucks, pickups and motorcycle) best place in Istanbul to go.
