Classic Motorcycle Mecca is a motorcycle museum in Invercargill in Southland, New Zealand. The museum collection includes over 325 classic motorcycles of mostly British and American makes, with some German, Italian and Japanese models. It is the largest display of motorcycles in New Zealand. The museum is operated as a tourism venture by Transport World, an Invercargill-based business. Most of the motorcycles in the collection were originally acquired by Tom and Heather Sturgess and housed in a purpose-built museum in Nelson from December 2014. However, in February 2016, Sturgess announced that he had undergone major surgery, and that the collection of almost 300 motorcycles, which had been open to the public for a year, was to revert to being a private collection. In May 2016, Transport World in Invercargill purchased the collection for relocation to new premises in Invercargill. The manager of the collection in Nelson, Dave Roberts, moved to Invercargill to remain in the role. Two existing buildings in the centre of Invercargill were joined and renovated to house the collection. The name of the new museum was announced in July, and it opened on 23 November 2016. In 2017, the project received a tourism grant of $555,000 from central Government. More information...
