Riga Motor Museum
Paul Taylor, Director of Uniquestay Hotels, told me of a motor museum in Riga, Latvia. I had been intending to bypass Riga and go directly to Vilnius in Lithuania, but working on Paul’s recommendation stopped in Riga and found accommodation for a couple of nights.
Using Google I located the museum, but there was a sign stating that due to building works the total collection had been stored on the other side of the city. However, I e-mailed and explained the situation and they replied that I would be welcome at the facility where the cars were stored if I would like to visit on Friday.
I was met at the front door of the premises by Aija Bauere and was immediately embarrassed having addressed her as Mr in my e-mail. I apologised and assured her I wouldn’t make the same mistake again and for her part she found it quite amusing.
The museum was the dream child of a number of enthusiasts...
