    "A new £20m museum dedicated to motorsport is set to "finally" open three months later than planned.

    The Silverstone Experience was due to open before the British Grand Prix in July at the Northamptonshire circuit.

    However, it is now due to open on Friday after the building contractors went into administration in June.

    Museum CEO Sally Reynolds said: "I'm incredibly proud. It's been a seven-year project and to finally see it opening is just fantastic."

    She said: "We want to inspire the next generation of engineers and people to work in motorsport. What better way than to show them a world-beating car or motorbike."

    Displays include items such as Nigel Mansell's British Grand Prix-winning Williams from 1992 and Barry Sheene's 1979 Suzuki motorbike.

    Exhibitions will also look at Silverstone's involvement in World War Two and the site's history back to medieval times."
