We Had One Of Those opening 5th April 2025!
Pick the blast from your past in Beaulieu’s newest attraction! Get ready for We Had One Of Those, a brand-new permanent and interactive exhibition opening on the 5th April, showcasing some of the most popular cars from the 1960s through to the noughties and beyond.
Interactive feature display
From April 2025, get back in the drivers seat of some of the most popular cars from your childhood with iconic vehicles from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties on display. This attraction is designed for you to get up-close and personal with them, opening the doors, sitting inside, marvel at retro dashboards and interact with their buttons and dials.
What will be on display?
Building upon a popular smaller scale display in summer 2024, the new attraction will have up to 10 nostalgic vehicles on display. These include a 1960s VW Beetle, the infamous Austin Allegro—fondly remembered as the car everyone loved to hate in the 1970s, a Vauxhall Cavalier representing the 1980s, and the Ford Fiesta, the first car for so many in the 1990s, plus more surprises!
Relive those memories
Do you remember the sights, sounds, smells and feeling of your very first car? Or even of the cars your parents had? Relive and reignite those memories as you step into the newest attraction at Beaulieu, and remember what it was like to drive the vehicles all those years ago.
Surrounded by pop-culture
The cars will be surrounded by popular items, sounds and accessories to transport you back to those years and evoke fond memories. From fluffy dice hanging in the windscreen of the Austin Allegro to beaded seats in the Vauxhall Cavalier, you’ll remember the ‘good old days’ in new ways.
