YES WE ARE ON THE MOVE

As many of you have known and many more speculated the Bubblecar Museum is on the move!

We have found bigger and better premises, still in Lincolnshire but with more room for camping, better rally field and facilities, larger café, and even with a bit of luck with an upstairs to the Museum itself. It's not on a trunk road and it has a rather excellent pub one mile from the site.
We were prevented from expanding on this site and we have searched for a long time for something different, we want to display more cars and more related nostalgia items to show the cars in the best way. That?s the plan, the website will be updated with progress, new acquisitions and pictures, we will be happy to take rally bookings for 2011.

For the latest information on the new museum, visit our news page!


All rallies booked this year will be as usual although the Museum itself will not be open.
All other facilities as booked will be the same.

RALLY BOOKINGS FOR 2011 BEING TAKEN!

Welcome to the website for the British Bubblecar Museum, dedicated only to microcars. The term 'Microcar' means literally a car under 700cc, although most are much smaller. Microcars, or bubble cars as they are more usually known, are a significant part of English motoring history. Lots of small manufacturers in the fifties and sixties were busily making strange little cars all over Britain and the continent.


Prominent English makers were Bond, run by Laurie Bond of Lancashire, who produced deeply strange 'mini cars'. Berkeleys of Biggleswade made amazing vehicles.

Others include the Meadows Frisky, the Peel, Reliant, AC Petite and Scootacar. There is even a bubble car maker at Hull in Yorkshire where Alan Evans produced the Bamby one seater car (we have one of these) and went into limited production.

These cars and their European counterparts of Messerschmitt, Isetta, Vespa, Heinkel and many more have a huge following, but in England, at least, no centre for enthusiasts.




Watch the website and read the news from the Museum.
