Lewis is busy in Italy on his way to Greece with Itineris Events on their amazing Magna Graecia Event. This makes me equal parts jealous and proud. He is the youngest member of the CC Team and before last year had never been far out of the county on his own!

This is now his second European tour helping to keep the guests cars in tip-top condition through this 2,000 mile adventure. He has even had time for some posh ice-cream.

While that might keep the mileage low, long periods of inactivity actually increase wear. Regular annual care is the secret to keeping your classic healthy. How many days a year do you take yours out?

🔥 Keep your classic cool when it matters most

Upgrade your Daimler Dart SP250 with a Revotec electric cooling fan kit and give your engine the airflow it deserves.

✔ Maximum cooling at idle and in traffic
✔ Slimline high-output electric fan
✔ Thermostatic electronic controller
✔ Complete kit with wiring, brackets and fixings

Unlike a mechanical fan that slows with engine speed, an electric fan delivers maximum airflow exactly when heat builds up – helping protect your engine and improving reliability in modern traffic.

⚡ MODERN CHARGING FOR CLASSICS – WOSP Alternators & Dynators ⚡

The million-dollar question when upgrading a classic: 👉 “If it worked in 1966, why upgrade it now?”

The answer is simple: today’s classics are more power-hungry than ever. We now expect:

🔊 Quality stereos
💡 High-powered headlamps
❄️ Electric cooling fans

🔌 USB charging ports
Add it all up, and it’s no wonder original charging systems struggle to keep up.

That’s where WOSP alternators and Dynators come in. Engineered just a few miles from our HQ in Aylesbury, they transform electrical reliability while keeping your classic ready for modern motoring demands.

Upgrading dynamos and alternators can make a huge difference to the reliability of classic cars, especially if you have high draw upgrades such as cooling fans.

So what is the actual definition of sustainable? 'The ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level'. In our world - keeping stuff already made running as long as possible, in the best possible condition.

So regular servicing not only prolongs vehicle life, it means that if your car is regularly inspected that you can pick up on issues both technical and structural while they are still economically recoverable ( in most cases ...... )

Engine oil is one of the 'cheapest' major components on an engine and easy to replace.

Here - Rover 2.5 DSE getting all its filters changed, supplied by fitted by . And before you case aspersions, my last RR P38 was sold having covered 238k miles and is still going ....... I like them, there, said it out loud.

🎶 Classic looks. Modern tech.

We love working with Chrome London – their period-correct radios hide modern Bluetooth + powerful amps inside. The best of both worlds!
We’ll fit and set them up so they look like they’ve always belonged in your cherished classic.👌

Your classic isn’t just a car, it’s a piece of history. But even legends need the right footing.
Tyres are the only thing connecting your pride and joy to the road, and ageing rubber can compromise handling, braking, and safety, even if the tread looks fine. Cracks, flat spots, and hardened compounds are common on classics that aren’t driven daily.
Whether you’re prepping for show season or planning your next countryside run, now’s the perfect time to have your tyres inspected or replaced. From semi-slick to whitewalls.
Supplied and expertly fitted by The Classic Collective workshops in in Bicester
Book your inspection today and drive with confidence.

There is only one choice for the 2CV and that is a Michelin X, but you can also have a snazzy white wall!

TAKING THE PAIN AND WORRY OUT OF RUNNING A COLLECTOR CAR DAILY

"I’ve not, in 52 years of motoring, had better service. Collection and delivery of my Jaguar XK, swift diagnosis and cure with excellent value for money. A group of very personable people who share my enthusiasm for motoring, I’ll use them again without a second thought. Thank you, Guys, I’ll be back!" Neil
