We don't have a 'Places to Visit' section (come on Admins - sort it out!), but I can recommend setting aside an hour to visit the Bugatti Trust:
http://www.bugatti-trust.co.uk/It's only 1.5 rooms, but 13 of us block-booked a talk (~£10 a head), and it was really interesting even though I'm no car enthusiast.
Right now, on show just for the summer are Bugatti No 1 (a three wheeler) and a gorgeous Atlantic - one of just four, and the embodiment of the 30s. I didn't dare ask the value but it will be more than my house, your house, the museum, and then add your street, all put together.
The Trust is at the bottom of Prescott Hill Climb, just above Cheltenham, which is owned by the Bugatti Club (not the Trust). The Hill, not Cheltenham. That's owned by GCHQ.
If you ask nicely, they'll let you walk up to the first bend, and have a look around that too. The roads around are a good ride, it being the Cotswolds.

The attention to detail when manufacturing was impressive. One example of many in the museum:
- those famous aluminium wheels. They're not just pretty, they're designed to get the hot air off the brakes, and that's done by gently angling the spokes/fins so the wheels acts like a fan sucking the air across the brakes. Damned clever:
