Exhibitions:
As the electric car becomes a familiar sight on our roads, we consider its origins with Robert Davidson of Aberdeen who demonstrated the world’s first electric carriage in 1839. Our full-sized working replica of his ‘electric engine’ launches the fascinating stop-start story of the electric car. A new first-floor gallery then probes the future of the electric car and explains the technology behind the closely associated autonomous car.

Scotland’s early motor industry is explained and illustrated with key examples of the famous ‘3As’; Argyll, Albion and Arrol Johnston including a rare AJ racing car.

Also new are Guy Martin’s Prized Possessions including Guy’s famous Spitfire engine, which has been joined by several other aero engines in a new section exploring the scope of the piston engine.

Our Museum Shop has a great selection of gifts, books and
souvenirs, many of which are unique To GTM. From our recently
published book about Robert Davidson’s electric vehicles
to Corgi models of our Rover police car!
