If you're looking for things to do in Invercargill then Transport World could be for you. Brought to you by one Southland family with a serious passion for wheels, Transport World offers you the chance to view two expansive private motoring museums, Bill Richardson Transport World and Classic Motorcycle Mecca in superb surroundings. Find spaces bursting with a huge range of automotive and motorcycle history. Designed to have broad appeal, you will be captivated by their quirky details and interests for everyone.

In fond memory of
Bill Richardson [1940 - 2005]
Bill Richardson was a loving family man, successful businessman and avid truck collector. During his lifetime he amassed a private collection of over 170 trucks. Right up until his untimely death he took great pleasure in his collection, showing guests through and sharing his almost encyclopedic knowledge of trucks. Bill was once quoted as saying "one day I hope someone loves it enough to carry it on". That someone turned out to be Bill's daughter and under her guidance Transport World continues to flourish and grow.
