I guess the numbers don't stack up for what they were asking ect.
The reality is, the museum is/was located in a small country town. Granted, Echuca has a healthy tourism sector, but the location would limit the amount of people passing through the place compared to if it was in a capital city.

Like the Ford Discovery Centre, having a single-make museum would be limiting factor as well. Any potential buyer is boxing themselves into a corner and relying on Ford or Holden-only fans to be the foot traffic.
