OK, my last one on all this. :rapture: The British National Motor Museum is in the charming little village of Beaulieu (probably an hour west of Goodwood). I'd seen it in 1998 and wasn't all that impressed... but it's been remodeled and is now downright superb. While not complete, it is very well done and has many famous vehicles in it. Here are a few photos... including a James May erector-set motorcycle with sidecar. They even had the Mr. Bean mini.

lovely!
 
I think all the cars in the "in film" group were not the originals. Frankly, that Mini looked FAR TOO good to be the original. If you recall, he eventually strapped a lounge chair to the roof. This was part of a small, new, exhibit that seemed almost out-of-place. The main museum is all the real deal.
