Museum

The Trust intends to create a live museum, with the majority of its exhibits being functional. This will allow visitors to experience the vehicles as they were when in use. Much has already been lost and the Trust hopes to secure the future of such vehicles for posterity. This will also enable the Trust to offer the following activities:
   
 
Representations of
vehicles, through
live exhibitsRepresentations of vehicles, through live exhibits, which populated Malta's roads since the early twentieth century. The aim of the Trust is to create a unique museum that will celebrate the industrial, military and social development of the nation as far as road transport is concerned. Each restored vehicle would represent a vehicle that is historically connected with Malta. Typical examples of vehicles would be:
  • Government vehicles including transport and logistics vehicles, airfield servicing vehicles, military vehicles, fire engines, ambulances, and police vehicles.
  • Industrial vehicles including construction vehicles, delivery vans/trucks, and specialist vehicles (built/designed for a particular task).
  • Public Transport vehicles including buses, coaches and mini buses.
 
Dream ridesOn board certain vintage vehicles for visitors
 
Use of exhibitsUse of the exhibits for historical re-enactments and other public displays.
   
               
 
Vehicle restoration
and mechanical
engineeringUse of the exhibits for historical re-enactments and other public displays.
 
Creation of archivesThe creation of proper archives, which will document the history of the exhibits themselves as well as Malta's transport history.
 
Fund raisingTo generate fund raising for the Museum through the promotion of its exhibits for use in films and other features being shot in Malta.

A number of key vehicles (over 50 pieces) have already been acquired or earmarked for restoration Similar ones can be seen in the attached photographs. These require intensive restoration work. Some sponsorship, financial and otherwise, has also been secured from the public and from the haulage and construction industries, all of which are extremely keen to assist with this project. A number of restored vehicles have also been promised to the Trust, once it has set itself up in its premises. The Trust has also secured a number of spare parts and tools that will be vital for the restoration of the Museum's exhibits. More information can be viewed on the Trust's website.
