I know that some of us have made a visit to the coventry motor museum but though this might be worth a visit
Coming Of Age At The Ace Cafe3 June 2011 to 2 October 2011
This Summer, the Rockers return as Coventry Transport Museum and Ace Cafe London present a new exhibition telling the story of how a London transport cafe became an international icon, and how the cafe's customers redefined what it meant to be a teenager in the 1950s and 60s.
Planned as a transport cafe for lorry drivers during the 1930s, the Ace Cafe on London's North Circular Road quickly became a place where motorbike riders gathered. In the 1950s the Ace became the destination for a new breed of motorcycle riders; teenagers who met there to listen to rock 'n' roll, and to burn up the road doing The Ton - the magic speed.
For Coming Of Age At The Ace Cafe, the cafe itself is lovingly recreated inside the Museum, filled with bikes, clothes and stories from the 1950's and 60's - it's going to be a long hot summer of motorbikes, speed and rock 'n' roll!
You can also win a full size Pinball Machine by entering our competition which is running concurrently with the Ace Cafe gallery. Simply answer the question...the answer is inside the gallery and then hand your entry into the Reception desk. The winner will be drawn and notified after the closing date of the Ace Cafe gallery on Sunday 2nd October.
