About Lane Motor Museum

Lane Motor Museum Front Entrance Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee is one of the few museums in America to specialize in European cars.  Approximately 150 cars and motorcycles not typically seen in the U.S. are on display.     

Lane Motor Museum features a unique collection of mostly European automobiles, housed in a former 132,000 square foot bakery. The majority of our vehicles were built in the 1950s through 1970s although we have some as old as the 1920s and as new as 2000.

You will be introduced to a broad cross-section of vehicles; over 45 marques representing Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Politics, geography, familial relationships, and economics are but some of the factors which have shaped vehicles throughout history. This is a working museum with the goal being to maintain all vehicles in running order.

The majority of our collection is arranged by country–Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden and the United States. Here you will learn how similar–and different–vehicles are from one part of the world to another–and why.

Here you will find:

    * The largest Czechoslovakian
      collection outside Europe
    * Microcars
    * Amphibious vehicles
    * Competition cars
    * Alternative fuel vehicles
    * Military vehicles
    * Motorcycles
    * One-of-a-kind vehicles
The 1965 Twini Mini Replica

Twini MiniThe Twini Mini is a re-creation of John Cooper’s fabled twin-engined, four wheel drive Mini Cooper.  Several dual-engine cars were borne of BMC products in the mid 1960s, with Cooper’s version the best known.  While not a true racer due to limited production, it was fearsome – 178 horsepower, four wheel drive, and only 1600 pounds, with performance equaling contemporary Ferraris!  Several “twin-mins”, as they were also called, were built, all by different fabricators.


Cooper’s car met an untimely end in a frightening 1964 crash, almost killing him in the process.  Other builders’ versions of the Twini Mini did go on to some competition success, many years before Audi Quattros became the dominant force in World Rallying.
