Car museums/related things in England and France

[J.Dubb]

Hey everybody!
So I decided that once I'm done my summer job this year I'm going to go to England and France for a couple weeks with some friends! I would really like to see some of the history behind the European cars we all love, but I'm not quite sure what I should go see because I only have a limited amount of time and wont be able to do everything! If anyone has any insight on what the best things are to go see I would love to hear!
Thanks,
Jason

Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, autobahn, nurburgring nordschliefe , côté d'azur, Paris tower, champs Élysée, that triumph gate, masaille, and more.

First of all, the first 4 arent in France or England, and the others have nothing to do with cars?

Yeah I really have most of the history and touristy things covered, I was more just interested to hear if anyone had any insight on car related things!

I am here, been on holidays myself and going away again in a couple of days. There are indeed lots of things to do, but need the time of the trip and general areas of the visit to help make some better suggestions, a sunny day in London in the right areas can be a car show too!

Check out the driving experiences available at Mercedes' test centre near Weybridge/Woking, less than 30 minutes from London by train.

Starts at ~$50 for a passenger ride on the test track, and goes up from there. I think you need to book in advance.

I haven't done it but was thinking of it next time...
