Myreton Motor Museum

Whilst visiting folks in Aberlady finally had a walk round the car museum just a mile or so from their house. Great little museum and a treasure trove of signs, pedal cars and other motor related colectables.

Myreton Motor Museum is well signposted from the A198 and B1377 roads and is close to the seaside villages of Aberlady and Gullane, in East Lothian, Scotland.

MORRIS OXFORD Bullnose 1925
This Morris Oxford was found in an Edinburgh scrapyard in 1952 and driven home. Whilst it was being restored a letter was found behind the door trim, it had been written to the new owners aunt this led to the discovery that the car had been purchased new by Willie Dales grandfather. Since 1952 it has done a considerable mileage, and in the 60s at the hands of Andrew Cruickshank (Dr Cameron) who used it in the television series Dr Finlays Casebook

 CHRYSLER Evening News Van 1926
This was one of a fleet of seven similar vans used by the Edinburgh Evening News, the others were Austins and has long since been scrapped. Vans like this were a regular sight in and around Edinburgh until retirement in !952 when it was sold to the Sword collection. When that collection was sold it returned to the News being used for publicity, but lack of space forced a second retirement and we purchased it. It is a very smooth and reliable runner with plenty of power, but not very comfortable , most of its space being reserved for the newspapers.
