An amazing hidden gem!!
The Classic Car Collection was the brainchild of obsessive petrol-head Mr. Carol Galea, an avid and self-confessed car enthusiast. He first began customizing and building his own cars for local hill climbing races but his hobby evolved into a full-blown passion for classic cars. This is his personal tribute to the automobile industry – or as he puts it – it’s a ‘living and growing collection that spans more than 50 years of motor manufacturing’ The museum has approximately 60 Vehicles on display ranging from a Jaguars, Alfa Romeos, Fiats, MGs, Mercedes, Chevrolette, Ferrari, Bentley etc. They have all been carefully restored and lovingly preserved. There is also a Cinemas and a Motoring Library on site that one can explore.

Great little museum!
Excellent little place…..hidden away in the back streets but easy enough to find and is literally a few minutes from main bus stop. If you love cars, especially classics this place is a must. Very happy to pay the €10 entrance fee as it’s evident the amount of love, effort and dedication that has been put into this collection. There’s also lots of other nostalgic memorabilia from over the decades that refreshes the memories of old. There’s also a small cinema room playing films of old car races etc. Great visit all round and even my 75 year old mother enjoyed it! Thank you.

A step back in time
On a hot day we decided to have a look around the classic motor museum. It was easy enough to find, although I was surprised as it looked to be no more than a shop from albeit with a beautiful blue vintage car out front. We received a friendly greeting on arrival and were left to our own devices to look around the museum which was nice. All covid protocols were observed but did not detract from the experience. The museum is effectively the basement of the building and quite obviously a labour of love, sad to hear the founder had passed away in June 2021 but lovely to hear all his family are still involved and that his passion for vintage cars will carry on. Beautifully cared for and restored cars and a few motorbikes fill the areas of the basement. Enough information about each vehicle and the rest of the museum was filled with things from times gone. If you fancy seeing some beautiful vintage cars (look but don’t touch style of museum) or you are a car enthusiast you will happy fill an hour of time whilst in Malta.
