I have been collecting motoring memorabilia for many years and also inherited my friends collection when he died. I needed somewhere to display it so converted the garage to a museum where my memorabilia and 2 Morris Minors are housed. We held an open day to raise funds for Julia's House, our local children's hospice, last year raising over £600 which we hope to make an annual event.
I spent 6 months insulating and wood panelling the garage before painting the floor and working out where to display my collection.
I still use the garage to keep my 2 Morris Minors in and to work on them when necessary.
