York Motor Museum

You'll feel like you're stepping back in time with this one – the museum, which houses one of Australia's finest private collections of vintage cars, is situated in historic York.

West Coast Motor Museum

This museum is home to a tidy collection of just 50 cars, and its small size means all restoration works are done in-house. Make an appointment to view the collection, which includes retired Claremont Speedway cars from the 50s and 60s. Woodland Parade, Mandurah, by appointment only, 0418 935 613.

Motor Museum of WA
