The Franschhoek Motor Museum - Franschhoek, Western Cape
The Franschhoek Motor Museum, located in the picturesque town of Franschhoek in the Western Cape, offers a fascinating journey through over a century of automotive history. Nestled on the magnificent L'Ormarins wine estate, the museum was established by billionaire businessman Johann Rupert as part of the Anthonij Rupert Wyne portfolio. Its purpose is to preserve and exhibit the rich history and heritage of the global motor industry.
The museum boasts an impressive collection of over 220 vehicles, showcasing cars, motorcycles, and bicycles from as early as the late 1800s to contemporary models. The displays are rotated frequently, with about 80 vehicles on show at any one time across four dehumidified, temperature-controlled halls. Visitors can marvel at vintage cars, classic models, sports cars, and even iconic South African favorites. Notable manufacturers include Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, among many others. Each vehicle is meticulously restored and maintained, making it a haven for motoring enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
