Gold Coast Motor Museum

The Gold Coast Motor Museum spreads a family built collection across a 12 acre hinterland site at Upper Coomera, ten minutes inland from the M1 and the theme park strip. Brothers Carl and Grant Amor opened it as a tribute to their car loving parents, and it runs deliberately unbranded: American, Japanese, British, European and Australian metal side by side.

The museum's own pages count the collection at between 75 and 100 cars and motorcycles, from 1911 veterans to modern classics. A DeLorean DMC-12 anchors the modern end, while the 1924 Stanley Steamer holds court in Stanleys Barn next door; past displays have included a restored Queensland built Goggomobil Dart, and Scott McLaughlin's 2012 Super2 winning Falcon spent about three years here before leaving in late 2025.

Stanleys Barn Restaurant & Bar makes it a full outing, and the calendar runs car club show days like May's All Makes Show that fill the grounds with metal.

A relaxed family collection best paired with lunch at the on-site restaurant.

Look out for:

• A deliberately mixed floor: American, Japanese, British, European and Australian vehicles from 1911 onward.

• The DeLorean DMC-12, the museum's modern era calling card.

• The 1924 Stanley Steamer, centrepiece of Stanleys Barn next door.

• Motorcycles threaded among the cars.

• Car club show days through the year; the grounds become the show.

• Stanleys Barn Restaurant & Bar for a meal before or after.

Best way to experience it: do the museum first, book Stanleys Barn for lunch, and check the events page in case a show day lines up with your visit.

• Open Wednesday to Friday 9am to 4pm, weekends 8am to 5pm; closed Monday and Tuesday.

• Prices are not published clearly online; recent listings put adult entry around $24 with senior and teen rates and under 13s free, so confirm at the door or on +61 7 5560 2345.

• Exit 57 off the M1 at Oxenford, then ten minutes inland; free on-site parking.

• Stanleys Barn keeps its own hours and takes bookings; weekends fill up.

• Step free entry, accessible parking and restrooms.
