Photo Gallery «Coventry Transport Museum - the rise and fall of the British car empire»
Jaguar, Rover, Daimler - well-known car brands that ensured the success of the British car industry far beyond the UK. They were all built around the city of Coventry, along with many other brands. It is therefore no surprise that there is a large museum celebrating the rise and fall of the British "Motor City". This museum report provides a virtual tour of the museum, illustrated with 100 pictures.
