This week the National Motor Museum at Birdwood put on display a replica of one of the most dominant F1 cars of all time, the Ferrari that carried Michael Schumacher to his seventh and final world title in 2004.
The show car is a priceless replica - using genuine F1 vehicle parts - of the title-winning machine, and is being loaned by Bridgestone Australia. That was our main reason for going to the museum today. Bridgestone Australia managing director Andrew Moffatt said the display vehicle was bought from the Ferrari F1 team five years ago.
Since 1965 millions of people have enjoyed seeing their motoring heritage at the National Motor Museum, Birdwood, in South Australia. The museum is much more than a collection of vehicles. It is a social history of the way we were, and the way we are now.
The National Motor Museum houses Australia's most important collection of vintage, veteran and classic motorcars and motor cycles - more than 300 in fact. It is a top state tourist attraction being only 50 kilometres from Adelaide.
