National Motor Museum at Birdwood

This week the National Motor Museum at Birdwood put on display a replica of one of the most dominant F1 cars of all time, the Ferrari that carried Michael Schumacher to his seventh and final world title. Apologies for changing this blip as this image seemed more appropriate the more I thought about it.

The show car is a priceless replica - using genuine F1 vehicle parts - of the title-winning machine, and is being loaned by Bridgestone Australia. That was our main reason for going to the museum today.
Seen even larger here in Xmas red!

Since 1965 millions of people have enjoyed seeing their motoring heritage at the National Motor Museum, Birdwood, here in South Australia. The museum is much more than a collection of vehicles. It is a social history of the way we were, and the way we are now.

The National Motor Museum houses Australia's most important collection of vintage, veteran and classic motorcars and motor cycles - more than 300 in fact. It is a top tourist attraction being only 50 kilometres from Adelaide.
