The History On Wheels Museum, near to Eton and Windsor, England, has a unique collection of vehicles, both military and civilian.

Here's some highlights of a visit on a rainy day in May 2012.

Thanks!

Excellent photos! That looks like a nice little museum. It's a shame it's not in a larger building where everything could be spread out a bit. Looks awful cramped in there.

Thanks for that one Matthew, felt like I visited the museum myself

Excellent feature, Matthew! Somehow this one slipped passed me. We have a few of these type of "private" museums within an easy drive and most always contain a hidden treasure or two. Your pictures are very good and I personally love the Protze ones. I also agree with AFVFan's assessment about the cramped nature of the museum. It would have been nice to see a few more images of the vehicles from different angles.

As for your "guess" about the German armoured car and it's authenticity, I believe that it's a fake. Having reviewed and built several 22X versions, I became rather familiar with them. The turret weapon arrangement strongly suggests the Sd. Kfz. 222 yet the turret size is too small and the upper body contours quite wrong. Enlarging the images also strongly suggests that it is made from quite thin sheet metal. This alone makes me believe it a movie "prop," albeit not too bad a one.

Cheers,
Jan
