An exact model of the first vehicle ever to be driven in the Cayman Islands — a 1905 Cadillac — has a place of special prominence in the museum.Of special interest both to children (and “adult children”) is the ultimate crime-fighting vehicle, the original “Batmobile” that squired Batman and Robin around Gotham in the 1960s television show. An exact replica of the “Batcycle” is also on display. Moviegoers will recognize the 1929 Yellow Rolls-Royce that appeared in the movie of the same name, and “royal watchers” will be attracted to the 1956 Daimler DK400, Queen Elizabeth II’s first limousine.Racing and speed aficionados will marvel at the sleek Ferraris (nearly a dozen classics, all in mint condition), Maseratis, Corvettes, and Jaguars. Magnificent Rolls-Royces (including a 1930 “Phantom”) and Bentleys (including Sir Elton John’s 1963 classic) abound, beckoning viewers back to an era of meticulous craftsmanship and unsurpassed luxury.The Museum is a great cruise ship excursion or a great place to spend an afternoon while on vacation to the Cayman Islands. Our gift shop offers unique auto memorabilia and souvenirs to the general public. The Cayman Motor Museum is also available for private functions and special events. « less

Cayman is home to the first car ever made! There are only 5 remaining and one in is tiny Grand Cayman! The owner of the museum decided to display what is in fact his personal hobby collection to the public after so many requests to see his collection. He incorporated other fun artifacts from the past century and gorgeous art... More

Who would think that a first rate motor museum could be found on Grand Cayman. Not that there aren't plenty of high end cars rolling around the island, but there are some great cars on display at the museum too. Heavy on Ferraris and Rolls, but plenty more, including the original Batmobile. More

If you appreciate classic and antique cars, the Cayman Motor Museum is a must see. Their collection of vintage Ferraris, Rolls-Royce, Bentleys, and Alfas is breath-taking. They also have Batman's original Batmobile and Batcycle used in the first Batman movie.. Our group of four expected to take a quick tour and ended up staying for almost two hours. A definite... More

The Cayman Motor museum is worth a stop for any petrohead. The collection is strong in vintage Ferraris while having a number of other interesting choices (Rolls, Bentley, Alfa, Mini, the Batmobile). There is a lot crammed into a small space so be sure to take you time to admire the various cars. The gift shop has a neat collection... More

We went here on a rainy day looking for something to do and it was great. Had a very high dollar collection of cars and memorabilia. Nice place and not very expensive. More

Located in the West Bay area of Grand Cayman, the Cayman Motor Museum houses a magnificent collection of cars.

We called at the museum from a Carnival cruise ship and it was the best $ 15 I have ever spent. A great collection of cars! Well looked after and very pleasant to get around. Well worth a visit. More

We visited the Cayman Motor museum on our trip to the Caymans, as our 3 sons love exotic sports cars and we thought it would give us something different to do in addition to all the beach activities. The place looks unassuming from the outside (it is rnext to the Turtle Farm), so we were quite surprised what an extensive... More
