See BABS at Museum of Land Speed

The Museum is home to BABS for a minimum of eight weeks every year by special agreement of the BABS Trust.

Babs on display

BABS has been on show at the Museum of Land Speed for an extended period of time in 2026 until 11 November, thanks to the kind support of the BABS Trust.

BABS will return to the Museum in 2027 at a time to be arranged.

 

What makes BABS so special?

- In 1926, Welsh racing driver J.G. Parry-Thomas set a world land speed record – twice! – right here on Pendine Sands.

- Tragically, the following year, he lost his life trying to reclaim the title.

- After the accident, BABS was buried beneath the dunes for 40 years before being carefully restored.
