Museum of Speed

ghost
This museum will be open Tuesday, 5 June 2012 (Jubilee Day).

We expect 'Babs' to arrive early in June.

Explore Pendine’s famous history as the “Sands of Speed”.
The museum overlooks the long beach famous for attempts
at the world land speed record and motor bike racing.

Babs

The main exhibit for July to September is usually 'Babs', the motor car
raced by Parry-Thomas to the world record in 1926.

Babs was buried in Pendine Sands after Thomas died trying to reclaim
the record the following year. She lay there for 42 years until being dug up and restored to her former glory.

Motor bikes from Pendine’s racing past are also on show.
