The National Motor Museum ventured north for the second time, partnering with Bowcliffe Hall for “Masters of Motoring 2025” on Thursday 31st July. We were privileged to attend with five Alvis and to follow NMM with a talk on Alvis, Engineering, Innovation and Elegance. For photos click Events and for last year’s event Beaulieu + Bowcliffe
The talk from Lord Montagu and Guy Loveridge on the expansion plans for Beaulieu reminded us that since it started the museum in 1952 much more history of motoring needs recording. This needs to be reflected in what the museum provides. Alvis only made 22,000 cars. Their history is hard to compress into a 30 minute talk (yes, we did overrun by quite a bit) but we shall continue recording it. Beaulieu only has one Alvis in its collection and we hope to remedy that.
Among our donated archive items is the 120-page 1965-6 Pictorial Guide to the Montagu Motor Museums. The other museums were Measham and Brighton which closed after only a few years. The current expansion is planned on the existing site at Beaulieu.
