Franschhoek Motor Museum

The Franschhoek Motor Museum houses over 220 vehicles displayed across four climate-controlled exhibition spaces arranged in chronological order. The collection spans more than a century of automotive development and includes classic cars, motorcycles, and transportation equipment.

The collection reaches back to the earliest days of motorization and shows how automotive technology developed over time. It documents the role this technology played in South Africa's past.

The collection reflects South Africa's connection to motoring through vehicles owned by notable local drivers and pioneers. The displays tell stories of people who shaped the country's automotive journey.

The museum operates on weekdays from 10:00 to 17:00 and accepts only electronic payments. Advance booking is necessary, and visitors should allow several hours to explore the full collection across all four halls.

A tram service connects the museum to an adjacent winery, allowing visitors to move between vehicle exhibitions and wine tasting without leaving the grounds. This unusual link brings together two different experiences in one location.
