Fancy a break from the rat race. How about running a car museum in Scotland? Debbie Nelson is selling her collection of famous cars and a brand new motor museum in Edinburgh. The collection includes Mr Bean's Mini and the batmobile!
The museum was set up using many of the additional vehicles from the Cars of the Stars collection based in Keswick, but now Debbie is ready for someone to take the Edinburgh museum forward.
"We now wish to sell a number of famous vehicles and felt that the best way was to sell the museum as a going concern, possibly to an enthusiast, rather than splitting up the collection
".
The leased property and up to twelve vehicles forming the base of the business is available to purchase in the region of £300,000. It has a fully equipped museum and theatre, fitted shop and tearoom area and superb restoration workshop facilities.
"We have made it a realistic figure, because we are keen for the museum to continue its good work, not only as a place of nostalgia and entertainment, but also as a place of interest to schools, particularly in the area of children's road safety
", said Debbie. It would be ideal for anyone with their own small collection of vehicles of any type or a restorer to run a business with museum attached, but if desired, the purchaser will also have the option to buy or lease a number of other star cars, including several James Bond vehicles.
The site is in a superb location just off the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh near to the airport. It has 10,000+ square feet of exhibition space on two levels and a large car park. "We have waited to register the museum and have all signage in place before marketing it
" explained Debbie, whose husband Peter founded Cars of the Stars, Keswick in 1989.
The Cars of the Stars, Keswick collection is one of the finest collections of original TV and film vehicles anywhere in the world and includes twenty-five vehicles from the James Bond films alone! " We are keeping some of the exhibits for the Keswick museum, but there are several very impressive cars for sale including, James Bond vehicles, The Saint's Volvo, a full size jet fighter from the film "Wing Commander", a vehicle from Indiana Jones, the official "Noddy" Car, and possibly even a "Back to the Future" Delorean.
Anyone interested should give Debbie a call on 01768772810.
