The first two of five vintage vehicles have arrived at the Museum today, donated by The Patrick Foundation. The gift of the vehicles – a 1934 Austin 10 Patrick Special Saloon, AOA 282 and a 1939 Alvis Speed 25 Saloon, FOB 506 – forms part of a wider donation the Patrick Foundation will be making towards BCLM: Forging Ahead, details of which will be announced in the coming weeks.
The remaining three vehicles are due to arrive at the Museum on Monday 11 December.
The Alvis and Austin are temporarily being housed in the workshop of Bradburn & Wedge whilst a longer term location is sought for them.
We envisage all five vehicles to be a regular feature of the new 1940s-60s town in the future.
We won’t be announcing news of the donation externally until the new year, so please do keep this news internal only for now.
