You can see a Bugatti Veyron in South Australia right now

​And that's not all the amazing metal that's on show...

​If you’ve never seen a Bugatti Veyron - one of the most manic and intense and silly and bewildering cars ever made - you have the chance to do exactly that. All you have to do is go to Adelaide.

Well, not Adelaide, specifically, but a little tiny town outside Adelaide that goes by the name of Birdwood, and just happens to be the home of the National Motor Museum.

This building houses a gobsmacking collection of some of the coolest, quirkiest and concept-iest cars ever built. 

Not only is there a Veyron (that belongs to a wealthy - did I need to say wealthy? Veyrons are still fetching more than $2,000,000! - South Australian businessman), but there’s also a Type 35B Bugatti, built in 1927, which belongs to the same bloke. They’re on loan to the museum for the next few years, so you don’t necessarily need to book your tickets to Radelaide right away.

Which iconic coupe would you pick - A Datusun 260Z or a Volvo P1800?

There used to be a lot of Volvo 244s on the road.

Other icons of the automotive world include an original Ford Coupe Utility - the good-old Church on Sunday, Work on Monday truck - and mint condition versions of a Holden 48/215 (FX) sedan, a couple of Lightburn Zeta models (a ute and a hatch), and an original JDM version of the Toyota Prius - the first-gen one, with all of its dorky cuteness.

Holden gets a good run in the museum, with an original VC four-cylinder Commodore that spent 10 straight days and nights being driven non-stop around Australia by a pair of motoring journos in 1981, plus the 2000 Holden ECOmmodore, a concept model with styling bits based on the VT Commo and V2 Monaro coupe.

There are a handful of Fords (you might even see a rare AU in there, if you’re lucky), while South Australia’s car-building heritage is highlighted with a few Mitsubishi models like a 380 and a first-gen Magna on show. 

It’s a great way to spend a day, and a cheap one, too: tickets are $15.50 for adults, $12.50 for concessions, $6.50 for kids, or $35 for a family (two parents and up to six kids). Check out the National Motor Museum site for more info.
