More than just model cars – Cloverlands is a sublime piece of motoring social history. Its core is the collection gathered by Gillian Rogers, whose when she was a child was given two model cars by her father sparking a lifetime of motoring enthusiasm.


Miss Rogers not only collected models, but built and commissioned cars large and small. She drove all over Europe, visting classic race circuits including Le Mans and the German Nurburgring and she was a member of the Veteran Sports Car Club and of The Society of Motor Historians for many years.


Since becoming custodians of Gillian’s collection we have now acquired more than 3000 additional items, with more models constantly being added to Cloverlands.


Please see the video which was created as a tribute to our patron Gillian Rogers when we were at Montgomery.
