The Heritage Motor Centre is located at Gaydon in Warwickshire, England. The centre is open to the public, and houses a collection of important vehicles, celebrating Britain's motoring heritage.

The collection now cared for by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust was developed in the 1970's when a new division of the British Leyland organisation was formed to preserve and manage the company's collection of historic vehicles. In 1979 the company became BL Heritage Limited, adopting a new headquarters at Studley, Warwickshire. Two years later, a museum was opend at the London Transport Museum's former home of Syon Park, west of London, were some 100 vehicles from the collection were put on display.

During the early 1980s closer ties were made with other British motor manufacturers. In 1983, the collection was granted charitable status and became the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, and although there were now several manufacturers involved, the collection still carried a large bias towards former British Leyland companies. Austin-Rover continued as the primary backer of the Trust, and gradually the other companies withdrew their support. Meanwhile, the collection continued to grow.

The Henry Ford, a National Historic Landmark, (also known as the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and more formally as the Edison Institute), in the Metro Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, USA, is the nation's "largest indoor-outdoor history museum" complex. More than a museum, it is a museum-entertainment complex where patrons can take a ride in a Model T, ride the train, visit an IMAX Theater, or see a live show. Named for its founder, the noted automobile industrialist Henry Ford and based on his desire to preserve items of historical significance and portray the Industrial Revolution, the property houses a vast array of famous homes, machinery, exhibits, and Americana. The collection contains many rare exhibits including John F. Kennedy's limousine, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theater, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, and the Rosa Parks bus.
