National Military Vehicle Museum

National Military Vehicle Museum Welcome to our Museum, which is operated on a volunteer basis by members of the Military Vehicle Pre

The Society is one of many Military Vehicle Clubs across Australia and throughout the world and its members are dedicated to the preservation of vehicles that are of military origin. The museum was developed as away of providing undercover storage for the vehicles and at the same time allowing the public to view them. Opened in August 1993 at the old Messenger Press building at Port Adelaide and n

ow relocated to a group of historic WW2 era buildings within the Defence precinct of Edinburgh Parks this museum is unique number of ways. The majority of the vehicles are privately owned by the Society members and therefore each member is responsible for their own vehicles. In addition the vehicles are not just restored to look at, they are rebuilt to authentic running condition and most are road registered and driven regularly. Military vehicles and items range from the First World War to current times.

Members, all, Sad to hear today on the passing of Raymond Merrill DFC RAAF. Ray passed away on 16 Jul, aged 103. Russell Vine had the honour to drive Ray in the Adelaide ANZAC Day parade a couple of years ago, with Peter Dunn driving him the following year. Such a gentleman and also funny with his jokes, RIP Ray, 🇦🇺😟
