"I hope that when I die someone will be interested enough to carry it on" - Bill Richardson Don’t miss Invercargill’s leading visitor attraction.

One man’s passion started it all – and this family legacy has become the largest automotive museum of its type in the world. But if you think it’s strictly for petrolheads, think again. With more than 300 vintage vehicles (running the gamut from Henry Ford letter cars to Volkswagen Kombis to 1930s V8s and classic trucks of every make and model imaginable), a movie theatre, wearable arts, a LEGO room, New Zealand's largest display of retro McDonalds toys, and quirky themed bathrooms, here you’ll discover something for everyone. Visit transportworld.nz for more.

Today, the Transport World team would like to acknowledge the passing of our valued volunteer, Norm Beer. Many visitors to our collection will remember Norm, whose presence touched so many and will be greatly missed by us all.

Our thoughts go out to Norm’s family and friends during this time.
