Welcome to our Car museum
In the 1960’s Christchurch born Mr. Jake Cooper had an ambition to build his own museum for public viewing. After he bought the original family home (built in 1876) and 8 acres of land he set about doing just that.
With his eye for collectibles, the help of local builders and using his network of associates Mr Jake Cooper finally opened his museum “The Yaldhurst Transport Museum” on Boxing Day 1968.
For 50 years the museum has been committed to offering a unique experience of New Zealand’s technological past, close to the centre of Christchurch and International Airport.
