Lease runs from 1970. They're going to have a hard time finding somewhere to house it that is as good.

I haven’t been since 1980 so I must go too. Been meaning to for a while.

Last time I went was when a friend at uni lived nearby, probably 1999.

I’m another that would like to go before it closes.

I went in the early 80s but I still remember seeing the Jaffa Mini driving around and going on the monorail.

We went 4 years ago and it was excellent, a real shame as the whole area the museum on makes it a proper day out and not just a few hours at a museum.

A car club was there aswell doing its own thing but happy to have guests look around, rides on old buses etc.

A shame but hopefully they get the opprertunitybto build bigger and better.

If anyone's planning on going in the near future, check the traffic through Lyndhurst and avoid it if you can - the A31 closure due to the New Forest fire still seems to be in place.
