Visitor Feedback
Coventry Class (published in Classic Car Weekly - 3rd March 2010 issue)
"In a past edition of CCW you mentioned the Museum of British Road Transport in Coventry as worth a visit. I therefore thought you might be interested in a little feedback. On a recent trip to Solihull to collect a pair of wind deflectors for my Saab 900 Classic, my wife and I decided to use the rest of the day to visit Coventry's Museum. We are so pleased that we did, as we had a wonerdful few hours looking at the exhibitis and reminiscing about days gone-by.
On show are some superb classic cars, motorcycles, bicycles and much, much more. One thoughful aspect of the museum is that there are plenty of places where you can sit down and rest your legs and the whole place is wheelchair friendly. The staff I spoke to was very polite, knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed his job - a real happy chappy. On noticing my Saab Enthusiasts' Club badge, he invited me for a closer look at the new Spyker sports car, made by the Dutch company that has taken over Saab. What a beautiful piece of engineering it is.
We will definitely be returnng for another visit and with exhibits frequently changing, there will always be something different to see. Oh, I nearly forgot, it gets better - admission is FREE! I say well done to Coventry and thanks to CCW for this and other useful tips."

"Last week I took a visitor from London to the transport museum. We were both very impressed with the displays and were especially impressed with the optional tour that provided a useful overview of the museum's contents. We were exceedingly pleased with your tour guide who presented herself very well and was very informative.
Thank you for providing a first class outing that also informed my London colleague that Coventry really is a very interesting place to visit. Well Done!"

"Many thanks for your help regarding our Drive-it-Day outing to Coventry Museum of Transport. All the staff were helpful and friendly, and the parking and entry went without a hitch. Those members who had not visited before were impressed, and those of us who had, noticed many changes and improvements which made the visit interesting.

"Many thanks for arranging our visit to the museum yesterday. The museum has changed greatly over the past few years and all to the better. Please pass on our congratulations to Naomi for taking us round and making such an excellent job of it, even the "petrol heads" among us were impressed by her knowledge of the vehicles you have on display and her general enthusiasm. Looking forward to my next visit to the museum in September for the Festival of Transport"
