A passion for cars and military history

This collection was built up over 30 years through a passion for cars and military memorabilia. Tony Clarke repairs and restores classic and muscle cars, and loves military history. You will find some interesting items here from the Boer War to the military interventions in Afghanistan. At the right time of the year you can buy quandong jam, and enjoy a meal at the café.
