Malta: Classic Car Museum Ticket & Live Restoration Workshop

Summary

Classic cars up close in qawra plus live restoration sights

You’ll wander among beautifully restored classic cars in Qawra’s Malta Classic Car Collection, watch real mechanics at work through the glass, and maybe catch yourself lost in memories or daydreams. Your admission ticket gets you straight inside—no waiting—and everything’s accessible for wheelchairs or strollers. It’s not just for car buffs; it’s for anyone curious about Malta’s quirks and history on four wheels.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to get a little nostalgic in the Malta Classic Car Collection. The place sits right in Qawra, but it’s almost hidden behind a stretch of cafés and souvenir shops. When we walked in, the first thing that hit me was this faint scent—like old leather mixed with engine oil. There’s something oddly comforting about it. Our tickets got scanned quickly (no line at all), and suddenly we were surrounded by rows of shiny, restored classics—some British, some Italian, even a couple of American beasts I only knew from movies.

We sort of drifted from car to car at first. My uncle kept pointing out details—chrome bumpers here, original badges there—and then one of the museum staff came over. He didn’t wear a guide badge or anything official; just a friendly Maltese guy who clearly loved these cars more than most people love their pets. He told us about how they’d found one old Fiat rusted out in a Gozo barn and brought it back to life right here. You can actually peek into their workshop through big glass windows; we watched two guys carefully sanding down a fender while ’60s music played softly overhead. It made the whole thing feel alive—not just a bunch of museum pieces.

I still think about that moment when I pressed my hand against the cool metal of an old Jaguar—just for a second—and wondered who’d driven it before me, maybe along these same Maltese roads decades ago. There’s even a tiny cinema tucked away showing grainy footage from past rallies and parades; we sat for five minutes and ended up staying for twenty. If you’re looking for classic cars in Malta or just want an hour or two out of the sun (the AC is strong), this place is weirdly soothing. Kids were running around with toy steering wheels, older folks reminiscing—it felt like everyone had their own story going on.
