Although several vehicles have been for sale before the museum closing down, the plan is to sell the collection as a whole. The collection can still be visited on appointment for groups of 20 or more people. So it is very much a dormant museum, waiting for the collection to be sold to a new owner.
Latest news is that Bonhams will auction the entire collection. The auction is set for June 23, 2018.
