Memorabilia including clothing and trophies won by sporting greats can be seen in displays which cover a wide range of racing disciplines, road safety and British youth culture of the 1950s and 60s.
The Beaulieu museum has an ambitious plan for a complete re-display of its collection following the success of the BOND IN MOTION exhibition, which was seen by over 800,000 visitors during its successful two-year run which has just ended.
Bond fans came from all over the world and the exhibition was recognised as the Large Attraction of the Year at the 2013 VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.
The exhibition, which celebrated 50 years of the enduring James Bond franchise, featured 50 of the most iconic vehicles from the Bond films and was the largest official collection of original James Bond film vehicles staged anywhere in the world.
This is the 50th anniversary year of Donald Campbell’s Bluebird CN7 record, and the museum is marking the occasion with a new display, For Britain & For The Hell Of It, featuring Beaulieu’s iconic land speed record cars, tells the story of British pluck, technological mastery and national pride – alongside new vehicles with a more alternative land speed heritage.
A moving audio-visual presentation transports you back to a golden age of invention, courage and patriotism and introduces you to those who are keeping the record breaking dream alive today.
Both new displays will be open for Easter 2014 and can be seen as part of a visit to the whole Beaulieu attraction.
