Explore the Vehicle Collection

Southward Car Museum houses one of the largest and most diverse private vehicle collections in the Southern Hemisphere. From early 1900s motoring icons to classic sports cars and unique prototypes, each vehicle tells a story of design, engineering, and cultural change. Our online catalogue currently features a selection of highlights from the collection but please note that not all vehicles are listed online. We’re continually updating and expanding the catalogue, so we encourage you to visit the museum in person to explore the full collection and uncover the stories behind the wheels.
