Always outstanding
One man’s passion started it all. Experience a family legacy that has become the largest private automotive museum of its type in the world. Stunningly crafted within a world-class facility, Bill Richardson Transport World has something for everyone. Hugely popular, you will find more than 300 vehicles including retro Kombis, Henry Ford Letter Cars, Model Ts, stunning 1930s V8s and over 200 vintage petrol pumps. Outside of our extraordinary vehicle range we house a growing wearable arts collection, movie theatre, children’s play zones and themed bathrooms fast becoming as famous as our vehicles. Allow plenty of time - there is a lot to see.

Not to be missed!
This is the most astounding collection of cars, trucks and general road transport memorabilia. I would recommend that any vehicle enthusiast could make a trip to Invercargill just to visit this museum. It’s almost a pity, not to take anything away from Invercargill, that this is not domiciled in a more populous Centre such as Auckland or Sydney, it so deserves patronage.

A must see.
We enjoyed the conference dinner here and got to explore the place before the meal. Even if you are not a big fan of vintage vehicles it was impressive. The well displayed and impressively restored vehicles wowed me and were a bit of a journey back in time.
