Hemsley Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Has anyone visited this place before? The firm I work for are holding an evening event here in a couple of weeks, and I hope to have a look at the exhibition. I know next to nothing about Belgian cars and their history. https://www.autoworld.be/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Yes, we stopped there on the way back from our first Alps trip. Sadly the visit was cut short by the need to make a dash for the ferry. It was reasonably sized, compared to some of the smaller museums we found on trips to France. It was interesting and I'd like to have spent longer. But it's not somewhere I'd personally travel hours off track to visit. But then that's where every ones interests differ. A lot of what they had on the ground floor especially, were vintage (Continental) European vehicles from the early days of motoring. The upper floor more recent offerings, (but also where we had to cut things short). It's always interesting to see the none brand specific car museums in Europe, and the different angle on things you get from the local equivalents of our long lost motor manufacturers. A same but different experience. Parked "out front" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the good words from @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman it was heavily biased towards French cars, as you'd expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemsley Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Thanks for the feedback and photos, I'm looking forward to the event. I've had a look at the virtual tour and it is a much larger collection than I was expecting. I hope the "work" event is suitably short! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed it so much, that we did several laps of the ring round trying to break the gravitational pull and get to our Ferry on a rather warm (>30 degrees C), day. The others will be along to advise they thought I was lost 😉 I hope you enjoy the visit and we'll look forward to your pics. @nikos called in recently and it was nice and quiet at this time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
