“My husband very much loved it. I booked the event as a surprise treat for him. An excellent collection of cars!! I have given 4 stars instead of 5 because there is no air-conditioning in this place. They do have ceiling fans, but only in some parts of building; hence it was rather hot and a little uncomfortable. However, on the whole, it is a wonderful place to visit.”

Internal garden just beautiful.
