After eleven months of work, the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia (MNACTEC) reopens its doors with a renovation that affects both the facilities and the contents and spaces intended for the public. The intervention has allowed the air conditioning system to be updated, energy efficiency measures to be incorporated and various improvements to be introduced to enrich the visitor experience, while the museum resumes its activity with a new exhibition proposal.  The reopening includes three temporary exhibitions, including “VIVA Montesa,” an exhibition that reviews the trajectory of one of the most emblematic brands of the Catalan and Spanish motorcycle industry.

Audrain Automobile Museum’s newest installment, "Best Shown: Winners from the Audrain Collections," is now open for visitors. The exhibition features eight concours-winning cars from the museum’s own collection, all under one roof.

Over the past decade, the Savoy Automobile Museum has listened, learned, and compiled the personal stories about Jon Oscher's favorite automobiles. Jon was a philanthropist in the purist form. As the patriarch behind Georgia Museum, Inc., Jon's advocacy for making history, science, and the arts accessible to everyone is a testament to his vision. In his honor, the exhibit is a self-curated collection of vehicles that meant the most to him. The exhibit will run September 29, 2026 - January 31, 2027.

"In October, we will be revamping our current special exhibition on Karmann prototypes to bring you even more prototypes—fascinating designs that were ahead of their time but, for one reason or another, were never built. Stay tuned and look forward to Out of the Dark 2.0!"

The Toyota BJ, which later became the Land Cruiser, was developed in 1951 at the request of the National Police Reserve, the predecessor of today’s Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of its development, a special exhibition is being held showcasing five different off-roaders from 1957 to 1993.

The Aston Martin Heritage Trust Museum (AMHT) is delighted to announce the arrival of this stunning Vanquish Volante. Finished in the beautiful Morning Frost paintwork, this Vanquish Volante will remain on display until the end of the year. It joins the muaum’s Generation One and Generation Two Vanquish cutaways as part of their celebration of 25 years of the Aston Martin Vanquish.

The National Motorcycle Museum has recently welcomed this beautifully original Triumph 3HW – a rare example of one of Triumph’s wartime military motorcycles. With the War Department favouring 350cc overhead-valve motorcycles, Triumph developed the 3HW, a military version derived from the civilian 3H. This particular motorcycle is an exceptionally original early example from Contract S5340, an order for 4,000 machines placed in December 1943 and delivered between June and December 1944. It retains its original toolkit, rider's manual and puncture repair kit, while the pannier bags are genuine 1944 items.

The latest addition to Canadian Automotive Museum’s collection is this 1990 Eagle Premier ES Limited. It was assembled at the Chrysler Plant in Brampton, Ontario and had a single owner since purchased new in 1991. It spent most of its life in Portugal. Fully loaded with odd and retro electronics, the Eagle was generously donated by @oblivionmotors.

The Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum is thrilled to announce the arrival of this stunning 1958 Mk II Ford Consul Highline 1700cc, which has remained with the same family for nearly six decades. Maintained to an exceptional standard and often described as looking as though it has "just left the production line", it has collected numerous Best in Show awards throughout its life. Another new addition to the museum's collection, generously donated by Tony Amis, is a 1985 Ford Granada Estate 2.8 litre (C4 HRH). This C4 HRH is one of just four German-built Ford Granadas supplied to the Royal Family in 1985.

Petersen Automotive Museum's “World’s Fastest” Exhibit now features this 1986 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole, also known as the “Downdraft” or “DD”. With a 5.2-liter V-12 producing 449 horsepower, the Quattrovalvole reached a top speed of 188 mph, making it the fastest of the Countach variants. Its unmistakable wedge shape, signature scissor doors and dramatic styling helped make it one of Lamborghini’s most iconic models.

Fresh from an extraordinary three-year restoration by Wickham Freight Lines, the legendary Grey Ghost is now on display at the Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE). Originally built for Comet and part of Australia's famous overnight express freight era, this KENWORTH Australia represents a time when trucks, drivers and the race between Australia's major cities became the stuff of trucking folklore.

On September 27, the Ness Technical Museum's staff  purchased this classic Saab 96, which was owned by the same family from 1991 to 2001 and saw a lot of use. Since then, it has been driven in the Innherred area and spent the last few years parked at Trones. The Saab 96 is a true motoring icon, renowned for its distinctive styling, rally heritage and robust engineering. Early examples have become increasingly desirable, particularly original cars offering an excellent basis for restoration.

The Malaga Automobile and Fashion Museum (MAM) has added a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Coupé to its collection. What's more, this isn't just any old DeLorean: it belongs to the founder of VirusTotal, Bernardo Quintero, who, after buying it three years ago in a "fit of nostalgia" and subjecting it to a painstaking restoration, has decided to loan it to the MAM so that the many fans of this 1980s trilogy can admire it up close.

This Fiat 125p Kombi is returning to Poland. A real gem from 1972 – dating back to the very beginning of production. Motoring Museum Wena purchased it in Germany from its original owner. After more than 50 years, this exceptional vehicle is returning to its homeland and heading to the Motoring Museum Wena in Oława.

The Wheatcroft Collection (TWC) has announced the completions of their 1929 Amilcar GCSS, the ex Luftwaffe pilots car. The car is now awaiting collection and will go straight to Dorset for exhibition. The museum’s attention can now be increased on other vehicles currently under restoration.
