Stats 80% motorcycles, 18% vintage Lotus race cars, 1% vintage other cars and 1% bikes/boat engines
Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum的点评
点评:We spent about 2.5 hours here. It’s literally overwhelming - the body and mind just can’t handle this much information and visual input so I’d suggest just walking through and focusing on the visuals. It is an amazing collection of vintage and modern motorcycles (80%) and Lotus race cars (18%), other vintage cars (2%). We happened to go on a weekend and they had a motorcycle race on the track - which is accessible through the museum. Great bridges and viewing points through a beautiful park. Barber (the collector) has bikes and motorboat engines on the first floor. Endless displays on walls, ceiling, hanging off things and even the elevator. The place btw is spotless - like McLaren’s garage. Every floor has a bathroom and the main floor has a baby changing table and breastfeeding space in the women’s toilets. These guys thought of everything. How they got John Surtees F1 car is amazing.
翻译:我们在这里停留了大约2.5小时。这里的内容实在太多、太繁杂了——人的大脑根本无法处理如此大量的信息和视觉刺激,因此我建议只是随便逛逛,把注意力集中在那些展品上即可。这里收藏了大量经典与现代的摩托车(占80%),还有莲花品牌的赛车(18%),以及其他一些老式汽车(2%)。我们恰好在周末去参观,当时赛道上还有摩托车比赛,而这条赛道就与博物馆相连。博物馆所在的公园里还有漂亮的桥梁和观景台。巴伯(那位收藏家)在一楼收藏了多辆自行车以及摩托艇发动机。墙上、天花板上、各种物品上,甚至电梯里都摆满了各式各样的展品。顺便说一下,整个地方干净得一尘不染——就像迈凯伦的赛车车库一样。每层楼都有洗手间,女厕所里还设有婴儿换尿片台和哺乳区。这些人真是处处都考虑到了。他们是如何获得约翰·苏蒂斯的F1赛车的,实在令人惊叹。
