YORK WA MOTOR MUSEUM

If you are like me and are a bit of a car buff you will enjoy a visit to the York Motor Museum nestled behind a shop front in the main street. Established in December 1979 by Peter Briggs, it houses a collection of approximately 150 vehicles and is recognised as one of the finest private collections of Veteran, Vintage, Classic and Racing Cars in Australia. As you can see from the number of photos presented here I spent quite a while admiring these beautiful machines.

YORK WA

  Western Australia's oldest town, York is situated about 100 kms roughly NE of Perth. Although proclaimed in 1831 and named after York in England,  a permanent township was not however established until 1836 when an Army barracks and store were built. Today York with it's historic buildings is a small service centre for the surrounding districts. The community also provides  good facilities for travellers with overnight camping allowed in a small area beside the Avon river. An added bonus was the Motor Museum situated in the main street that I am sure would be an attraction for Veteran and Vintage car enthusiasts, like me.
