York Motor Museum

York Motor Museum, Motor vehicle museum in York, Western Australia.

York Motor Museum displays over 60 cars, 16 motorcycles, and various other vehicles across three exhibition galleries. The collection spans different eras and includes both everyday models and competition vehicles.

The site was part of the Government Farm until 1859, when builder George Wansbrough received Lot 101 and built a cottage with an oven, used as a bakery. The Windsor family erected the present shops in 1908, and the museum opened there on 8 December 1979 with 1,100 square metres of floor space, winning the Sir David Brand Award in 1984. Since 2017 it has been owned by the non-profit Avon Valley Motor Museum Association.

The museum launched the York Festival of Motoring, now the York Motor Show, run by the York Branch of the Veteran Car Club of WA and drawing thousands of enthusiasts. Peter Briggs, who won the MG Car Club Annual Championship three times in the late 1960s, built the collection from local motor sport.

The museum occupies 1,100 square metres on Avon Terrace and is open every day from 9am to 4pm, with an admission fee. It is run by volunteers, so allow time to move between the three galleries, the two general areas and the motorsport section.

The building began as a bakery: George Wansbrough built a cottage with an oven on the site after buying Lot 101 for £10 in 1859, and baker Henry Beard worked there from 1863 before being jailed for sheep stealing. The petrol bowser outside was installed in 1936 by the Eastern Districts Trading Co, a Ford dealership.
