There is an interesting article in the latest edition of The Automobile (October) which suggests that the move could be to Beaulieu's benefit. "A slightly smaller but more focused museum could be more interesting to the general public and more attractive to the enthusiast."
The National Motor Museum Trust, on the other hand, need to find somewhere to go. Merging with an existing museum, such as Gaydon, seems unlikely as they are all already full with their own collections. The costs of setting up somewhere new will be sky-high.
