The museum's collection is being moved into storage

Britain's oldest motor vehicle is going into storage while a museum undergoes major refurbishment.
London's Transport Museum is shutting its doors for 18 months from Sunday evening so the programme can begin.
All of the Covent Garden attraction's collection, which also includes examples of London's first buses, is being moved from the venue from Monday.
The Transport Museum will continue to put on talks and activities at other locations during the closure.
The museum says the refurbishment will create more display space and a 100-seat education room.
Transport enthusiasts will be able to visit the improved museum from Spring 2007.
