The entire collection of a classic car museum is set to go up for auction.

The Exmoor Classic Car Collection is shutting its doors for the final time and the exhibits will be sold off by Bonham's next month.

The museum in Porlock, Somerset, was set up by Stephen Johns as a retirement project 12 years ago, but now Mr Johns has decided to sell the museum and retire for good.
