Founded in 1987, West Coast Motor Museum showcases over 50 vehicles from 1915 onwards as well as an extensive collection of speed cars from Claremont Speedway during the 1950's and 1960's.

Owners Ron West & Ron Meredith's long association first began in 1957 with the owning and racing of a 1934 Ford Coupe at Forrestfield Speedway where cars from the 1930's and 1940's were converted into hot rods and raced until totally destroyed. Now their aim is the preservation and restoration of these and many more vehicles so that future generations and motor enthusiasts can re-discover Western Australia's motoring history. The museum also houses a workshop and machine shop so that all restoration work can be managed on site.
