The National Motor Museum, Birdwood, is an automobile museum in Birdwood, South Australia.〔〔 Established in 1964 and opened to the public soon afterwards,〔 it is Australia's largest motor museum,〔 with over 300 vehicles on display.〔 The museum was started by Jack Kaines and Len Vigar in 1964, and was purchased by the South Australian Government in 1976, holding a large and historically important collection of cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. The museum is housed in a modern complex adjacent to its original home, the "Old Mill" in Shannon Street, Birdwood.〔〔 It is the endpoint of the annual Bay to Birdwood run (), in which vintage motor vehicles are driven by their owners from Glenelg past the city and through the hills to finish at the museum where a festival is held. ==See also== *List of automobile museums *National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide *South Australian Museum ==References==
