Jaguar Heritage Centre było kameralnym muzeum położonym na obrzeżach brytyjskiego Coventry. Smutna wiadomość o jego zamknięcia doszła do nas 2 lata temu:
http://jaguarclubpoland.net/forum/index.php?topic=16772.0A teraz rewelacyjne wiadomości: Juź w 2015 ma być gotowy nowy muzeum!Nowy muzeum powstaje w Gaydon/Warwickshire i ma miejsce dla min. 200 samochodów:
The £4 million project has been under development for two years and has just been awarded a Round Two grant of £1.45 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF grant, together with match funding from Jaguar Land Rover, The Garfield Weston Foundation and both Trusts, will enable work on this exciting new project to begin in the very near future.
The new Museum Collection Centre will enable visitors to view many cars from the reserve collections of both Trusts for the first time in a purpose-built facility. The building will also include a vehicle restoration and conservation Workshop, space for enhanced education and lifelong learning programmes and office accommodation for all Jaguar Heritage staff – bringing the whole team back together again on the Gaydon site.
This exciting new facility will be immediately adjacent to the Heritage Motor Centre museum and it is hoped that it will be fully operational during the first half of 2015. There will be sufficient space to display all the reserve cars from Jaguar Heritage’s collection which will complement the existing Jaguar galleries in the Coventry Transport Museum and the Heritage Motor Centre museum, both of which will continue as they are today.
In addition to the large range of Jaguar models in the reserve collection, the building will also allow visitors to see Jaguar Heritage’s extensive collection of over 30 Daimler and Lanchester models, dating from 1897 to 2002 – many of which have not been on public display before.
