Elegant museum in the Cape Winelands housing over 220 vehicles from an 1898 Beeston to modern supercars.

mountain pass
A sweeping tarred climb out of the Franschhoek wine valley on the R45, following an old elephant migration route and offering a lay-by view back over the vineyard-filled bowl. Quick to drive and a favourite of Cape Town car clubs.
