* CastTheExpert: The man who played the museum curator, Mike Cavanagh, actually ''was'' the museum's founder and curator in RealLife.

It's still in operation as of 2022, and the model Brum car is on display there. However, Cavanagh himself retired after selling the museum to the CSMA Club in 1999.[[/note]]
