The Franschhoek Motor Museum offers visitors a special opportunity to look back at more than 100 years of motoring history with its unique and exciting collection of vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and memorabilia in the magnificent setting of L’Ormarins. Across the length and breadth of Southern Africa, only one place can adequately portray the evolution of the automobile, The Franschhoek Motor Museum.
The museum’s collection exceeds 220 vehicles – ranging from an 1898 Beeston motor tricycle to a 2003 Ferrari Enzo supercar – and more than 80 exhibits will be on view at any one time, displayed in four de-humidified halls with a total floor area of 2700 m², and presented in chronological order.

Franshhoek Motor Museum is a delightful experience every time and that is why I have visited 5 times. The classy, yet very welcoming ambience given and created the moment you enter the premises, instantly puts the visitor at ease and in a mood of excitement to experience the place. This time around I visited with guests from the UK (ex Zimbabweans) who used to own a garage in Zimbabwe (family business) and in their spare time restore motor vehicles. The trip t the Museum was a surprise and they said it was one of the highlights of their trip to the Cape. The John Love display brought tears of nostalgia and excited chatter, as he lived in our home town, owned a garage and was our local racing car hero. The visit was followed by a lovely cup of coffee at the Pitt stop, a tastefully done casual restaurant that rounds off your visit. The array of goodies one could purchase was excellent and well displayed. The staff inside the museum halls were so helpful and full of knowledge. It is apparent the Employers ensure their staff are trained well. Keep it up as I intend to return with further guests in the future. - Chantel
Thank you to the FMM and the very accommodating Staff who made the visit very enjoyable. Thank you to our museum guide for the very informative tour of the impressive cars on display. I am very pleased with the experience and we would love to come and visit again to see the next rotation of vehicles on display. - Keagan
I recently visited the Franschhoek Motor Museum and was very impressed. The collection is beautifully maintained, with cars displayed in spotless halls that take you on a journey through motoring history. The setting on the wine estate makes the experience even more enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It's well worth the visit, even if you're not a car enthusiast. - Jithen
