Commercial Vehicle Adoptions

Adopt your favourite commercial vehicle here, from the Austin K9 to the Sentinel Steam Waggon!

As a self-funding independent charity, Grampian Transport Museum holds a collection spanning over 100 years of transport and motoring history, many are in working order and used as part of our programming, but others need varying degrees of conservation to enable them to stay operational and protect them for the future.

Adopting a vehicle for a year gives you the following benefits:

  • A complimentary ticket to the museum for yourself to visit your vehicle (if you are a member, you can give this to a friend to bring them with you on a visit!)

  • A digital certificate to recognise your adoption

  • Your name displayed with the object label when it is on display, and on our online collections page

  • Museum newsletters which give updates on our collection and what’s happening at the museum
