I drive the Taihape Napier road all of the time as it is on my door step and my favourite play road for a two seater sports car and my motorcycle and I have never noticed anything relating to this museum that you speak of.
Puketitiri is not on the Taihape Napier road, Puketitiri is a dead end road to the middle of nowhere.

I last went there about 6-7 years ago, it's out near Balls Clearing eh! Had an old Napier and an old Rolls Royce Silver Ghost there right!
Hopefully it's still going, but the old guy running the place may have since passed.

.Ooops sorry
may have been Lemmon's, there is one listed in the White Pages out that way.
The owner has died and the family are supposed to be moving the collection closer to Napier! apparently they purchased some land to do so a few years back! However i do know some vehicles have been sold!

My name is Caleb Lemmon, and The Lemmon Trust Museum is a collection of my late grandfathers findings over his many years. The museum was closed a few years ago, due to a relocation. It's still in development in Napier, and will be up and running in coming time. When it's all finished, up and running, I hope you will all come and see it, as it is a credit, and a representation of my grandfather, Leslie Lemmon's life.
