This tiny museum is an absolute gem! The exibits are great, especially of course the Peel P50, which was built just a few hundred metres down the road. But the highlight for me was the incredibly friendly and welcoming volunteers who run the place. They are a goldmine of information on the Peel cars and its inventor and were more than happy to chat and allowed a closer look at the cars. There is also a gift shop in one of the corners of the museum with a surprisingly large selection of Peel P50/Trident souvenirs.

Such a good museum. Thank goodness for the people that made it come about, and the current custodians. A wealth of brilliantly curated information in a small space. Excellent staff member talked me through the history of the car production and the museum. Brilliant to see the P50 in person and read all about other Peel ‘inventions’. An essential stop on a tour of the Isle of Man.

Got a warm welcome when visiting Peel in May. Was good to see both the P50 and a Trident (replica, sadly). The host was very knowlegeable. It was lovely to look at the photos and other memorabilla.

Entrance is free and its only two rooms, but definitely worth a visit to see the smallest car ever made. The guys who run it are very friendly and happy to talk! I also got a nice mug for my dad.
