The London Motor Museum was a really cool place that showed off many amazing cars! It had more than 160 different vehicles. You could see classic cars from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
The museum also had some very famous cars from movies and TV shows. Imagine seeing Herbie the Volkswagen Beetle or one of the original Batmobiles from the first Batman movie made in 1989! There was also a Ford Gran Torino from the popular TV series Starsky & Hutch.
Sadly, the museum closed permanently in June 2018. This happened because of a disagreement with the local council about business rates. All the fantastic cars have now been moved to other museums around the UK, so people can still enjoy them.
