Operated by volunteers from the Military Vehicle Preservation Society of South Australia, this museum houses vehicles of military origin ranging from the First World War to current times. Most are privately owned by Society members and rebuilt not merely for display but to authentic running condition, with many road registered and driven regularly.
Opened in August 1993 at the old Messenger Press building in Port Adelaide, the collection has since relocated to a group of historic WW2-era buildings within the Defence precinct at Edinburgh Parks. Members in attendance can answer questions, and the museum accepts loaned or donated items for display.
