Welcome to

Donington Collections This was one man’s dream, to show and house his collection of single seater racing cars, under one roof and display them for the public to see.

Frederick Bernard “Tom” Wheatcroft was an English businessman who acquired the collection over a number of years and opened the museum back in 1973. The Collection itself is a living example of many fine and some extremely rare cars where the exhibits change and evolve all the time.

Today, Tom’s son Kevin Wheatcroft, now Chairman of Donington Park Racing Ltd, has continued to expand the Collections which now features an exclusive and fascinating insight into the Wheatcroft Military collection, dedicated to WWII Military Vehicles.

The Donington Collections is unique in that it houses the largest collection of McLaren and Williams F1 cars on display to the public outside their respective factories.
