news

OK, that’s us closed for this year reopening in March with, hopefully if the list gets done, lots of new shopfronts and displays and hopefully some of our archive material available to view.

So thanks very much to our lovely visitors, people who brought us exhibits, our mega volunteers and a less than gracious noise to the very few whingers.

Keep in Touch, oh and thanks to the people who put nice stuff about us on TripAdvisor !(PS If you haven’t written about your visit – you can still do so! Just go to the TripAdvisor site here.)

Our latest acquisition, hopefully on display next season. A Tourette.

You can also follow us on our Facebook page, where you will find the latest news on our Tourette, for which we are looking for some more parts, it would be nice to have the original ones although obviously with the multitalented Micheal doing the resoration we can manage. I am told the car was in Devon for a while and that some of its bits are still there, if anyone knows who has them that would be handy…

We’re off now to the Classic Motor Show at the NEC, with our Gogomobil Shopper.

A quick run down of some of the more interesting events at the museum over the past couple of months.

In April we had the Red Hat Society, a fun-loving bunch of women who regularly get together to enjoy various outings. Seven Wacky Women of Wisbech and two Fen Fatales all dressed in their signature red and purple enjoyed a tour of the museum and a coffee break!

The MG Car Club held their National Drive Your Classic car day at the museum, with a healthy turnout of classic cars on the last Sunday of April, including a 1933/34 MG L-Type “Magna”.

Moving into May, M-O, the UK’s premier Ford Mondeo club, held their Workshop Weekend at the museum the weekend before last.

Lastly, The Bubblecar Museum has been awarded a 2014 Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor, so a big thank you to all who rated and reviewed us on our page!

The Bubblecar Museum is open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 10am to 5pm.
We are located near Boston in Lincolnshire.
Admission charges are a micro £3 for adults and £1 for children.

Why not drop in for a visit!

Our first weekend of 2014 got off to a cracking start when members of the Regis Classic Tour called in for scones and cream and a look at the Museum on Saturday. The tour, which raises funds for cancer charities, attracts entries from all over the UK, and some fantastic cars were on view outside the museum, including Rolls Royce, Jaguar and Allard. We were so busy on the catering front that we had no time to chat, but it was great fun.

We change our displays each year, and for 2014 we have some fantastic British motorbikes of the 50/60s on display, as well as some new cars and scooters.
We are also at the planning stage with our expansion, which we hope to start on later in the year, this will include a new French section with a display of early Citroen 2CV based vehicles, as well as more exhibits.

Please note, the Wheeler Dealers FSM Syrena is having a well earned rest and is not on public display in the museum.

On Sunday we were visited by the Lincoln Imps Mini club, who enjoyed going round the new exhibits.

The Bubblecar Museum is open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 10am to 5pm.
We are located near Boston in Lincolnshire.
Admission charges are a micro £3 for adults and £1 for children.

Though the museum is now closed for the 2013 season, you can still catch up with us on TV!

Look out for the museum in a segment of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, scheduled to broadcast a week today, on Tuesday 26th November at 7pm on BBC Two (Thursday 28th in Scotland). Our own little bit of stardom!

Check out reruns of the Wheeler Dealers, FSM Syrena episode too. We’ve had a terrific response to the show, at the end of which I successfully haggle with Mike Brewer for the Syrena.
Lots of lovely Polish people, with fantastically well behaved children, have come to see the car, be pictured in it and twice cringingly be pictured with me!
It’s been a real pleasure to hear so many more people say ‘I learned to drive in one of those’.

Discussing the restored FSM Syrena with Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers

With the Wheeler Dealers episode airing all over Europe we have received many more offers of cars which we are following up, even an amazing kit-car based on a Syrena.

We are now busy re arranging things to get more cars and memorabilia in and out of storage for 2014, and making a start on a new room and Citroen collection which will be out first expansion.

So a great thanks to everyone who has helped/ stayed/ visited/ rallied this year, have a great Christmas.
