Coventry Transport Museum pics

As a dedicated wus it has been far too cold for me to ride anywhere, so when and mate and me checked out the rather excellent Coventry Transport Museum I must admit to going in the cage!

The focus is on cars but there was a bike hall and some bikes dotted around generally. I was expecting more focus on Triumph seeing as the were based up the road in Meriden for so many years, and the bike hall was rather small, but varied. My camera battery had packed up by then too...

Anyway a few pics...

Free to get in and well worth a visit if you are in the area

Bit of a poor show on my part but never actually been in the 'new' museum, go past it twice a day going work and back but never thru the doors, will have to check it out, altho somewhere got signed piccie of the thrust by its pilot as my old man worked for dunlop aerospace and they were well involved allegedly, meh, never paid much attention really!!

The third picci down looks similar to Roscos cat, bit tidier tho. Tes.
