Interactive feature display

Sit 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 is on display?

Building upon a popular smaller scale display in summer 2024, the new attraction has up to 10 nostalgic vehicles on display. These include a VW Beetle and Morris Minor, the infamous Austin Allegro—fondly remembered as the car everyone loved to hate in the 1970s, a Vauxhall Cavalier, Nissan Micra, Ford Mondeo plus many 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 are surrounded by popular items, sounds and accessories to transport you back to those years and evoke fond memories. From records made in each era, fluffy dice hanging in the windscreen to beaded seats and GameBoys, you’ll remember the ‘good old days’ in new ways.
Rewind TV

Rewind TV visited Beaulieu in 2025 to film a brand new series called "We had one of those" dedicated to the vehicles in this exhibition.
