The purveyors of all things related to Anglo cars are at it again with a mix of goods they highly recommend for car enthusiasts this holiday season. Not surprisingly, much of it is leather and likely smells like the cockpit of a finely kept MG-B GT or the like.

The Motoring Classics range of clothing, luggage, car parts and accessories etc has been carefully assembled by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, and contains everything from £9.50 leather key rings to items of hardware at several thousand pounds – ie. something for all pockets. And while even the most ardent classic car fanatic would probably not expect a British Motor Heritage replacement bodyshell for Christmas, the majority of us would surely be more than delighted to unwrap any one of the other products on December 25.

Other examples of clothing include the excellent Greycar selection of leather gloves (for her as well as him), headgear and overalls, plus our new competitively-priced range of Heritage gloves, available in black or brown leather. Talking of overalls, this year’s involvement by the British Motor Heritage team in the incomparable Le Mans Classic has spawned a new line-up of replica BMC overalls and shirts – ideal apparel for next year’s Goodwood Revival meeting.

Christmas Crackers from Motoring Classics 2012If you or your loved ones stay away for such extravaganzas, then the luxury leather luggage is surely an attractive proposition – the options include both grip bags with shoulder straps and serious suitcases that come complete with waterproof covers, and can therefore be affixed with confidence to period luggage racks. For children of all ages (ie 3 to 93!) there is a delightfully broad selection of model cars and commercial vehicles in a variety of scales from 1/43rd to 1/18th.

Christmas Crackers from Motoring Classics 2012Car care and maintenance products are never more vital than at this time of year and you can choose from: indoor and outdoor car covers; the renowned range of Autoglym polishes, cleaners etc; Renovo specialist hood products; and CTEK battery chargers. Those for whom technical publications normally mean creased, oily-stained pages, will be heartened to learn that many such items for MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, Land Rover, Jaguar models etc are now available on DVD.

Christmas Crackers from Motoring Classics 2012Leaving aside the aforementioned bodyshells which, apart of the cost, would be a struggle to fit under the family Christmas tree, there are numerous more manageable items of hardware that would increase the heart rate of many a classic car fan. Moto-Lita steering wheels (leather and wood-rimmed from £211.50) certainly fall into that category, but EBC and Goodridge brake parts, Samco hoses and Tex replacement mirror and wiper items would doubtless also be popular in many a household.

If you’re unsure what to choose, then opt for a gift voucher instead. Full details of these and all the above are available at www.motoringclassics.co.uk.
