Gilbert’s Motor Museum

The museum is an initiative of the Strathalbyn Tourism Association, a non-profit, volunteer group that is dedicated to promoting tourism in the area through events and sponsorship of local community groups.

The museum is located in the historic building owned and used by the Gilbert family since the early 1900’s up to the business closure in December 2018. During this time Gilbert’s manufactured Treblig bicycles, and motorcycles, sold home appliances, motor vehicles including Buick and Holden, and farm machinery. They also had vehicle repair and bodywork facilities.

Vehicles on display include those sold new from the premises, veteran, vintage, classic and motorsports vehicles. Of particular interest will be the display of racing vehicles from Rowley Park Speedway, kindly organised by the Veteran Speedcar Club.
