IN THE CLUB
10
If you haven’t already, have you considered joining a classic car owners club? Here you will find comprehensive listings of UK clubs, many of which are model specific, and offer an interesting opportunity to find out more about your classic car, as well as introducing you to a whole new set of friends.
The passion involved in buying, collecting and restoring classic cars can become all consuming, with many owners utterly dedicated to their craft. Classic cars are beautiful, interesting and rare items to collect, and as the craftsmanship behind their build and manufacture becomes older and rarer, owners clubs are a fantastic resource for any serious owner.
Clubs provide a wealth of information about the history of the cars involved, as well as hints and tips on maintenance, common problems and reliable workshops, they can help you to source rare parts, and be excellent places to buy and sell.
There is also the social aspect – many clubs hold regular meets and runs, raise funds for charity, offer a variety of levels of involvement, attend major exhibitions and events, and often hold social meets to show off your classic and meet like minded owners. Membership is often annual and is usually very affordable, so check out local and national clubs and see what takes your fancy.

Upholstery Cleaning & Care
Whether your car is a top of the range, brand spanking new beauty, or a more beloved classic, taking care of the interior surfaces is an important part of your car care, which can sometimes be neglected. Thinking about the sort of dirt which vehicle seating and carpeting can attract, there is of course a hygiene aspect to consider. Trapped food, bacteria and all sorts of nasties can lurk unwanted in the nooks and crannies of your car, creating germs and unwanted odours to linger. Looking after the upholstery properly will also prolong its life, helping you to maintain the value of your car and enhancing your comfort and making the drive feel, and smell, so much nicer.
Car interiors tend to be designed as much for comfort as for appearance, which can make them much more vulnerable to dirt and damage. Modern materials are of course more dirt repellent than older fabrics, and have been created to stay cleaner for longer but will still be susceptible to spills and damp. Even luxurious, wipe clean leather will require help to keep it supple, shiny and dirt free. Obviously, cleaning upholstery is a bigger job than being careful in the first place, so it pays to ensure both you and your passengers take some care when riding in your vehicle. Don’t smoke, eat or drink in the car if you can avoid it, to stop any spillages, smoke
pollution or accumulation of sticky residues. Do try to vacuum and wipe down inside regularly; this way you will avoid the build up of grime which so often happens if it is left. Look at specialist products for the fabrics and materials in your car, and use them specifically according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do check that you are using the correct product – modern interiors for example may look like leather but be manufactured from a different material which will not take too kindly to leather treatment.
If you have purchased a used car with ingrained dirt and grime, or there has been a serious spill or damage to your upholstery, these simple tips probably won’t help you. Instead what you really must do is talk to a reputable professional. Particularly bad stains or smells will be almost impossible to clear without their help, and you also run the risk of inflicting more damage on your cars interior by doing the job incorrectly. A professional will be able clean thoroughly, efficiently and safely around the cars electrics, and usually will offer a much deeper and long lasting clean which will extend the life of your upholstery and therefore your motor, and mean that in future you simply need to keep up regular maintenance to keep the car looking good and smelling sweet.

CAR CARE
With more people working remote, cars have been sitting idle on the driveway or at the roadside for many weeks. Here are a few areas to look out for:
UNDER PRESSURE TO PERFORM
If a car has been stationary for a prolonged period of time, tyre pressure can be lost. Therefore, to top it up to the recommended levels, which can be often be found on the driver’s side door frame or in the handbook, you can use a home tyre inflation kit, or if it is safe to do so, you can visit a nearby petrol station forecourt that has an air machine. As well as running at the right pressures, tyres must also have the correct tread depth (i.e. 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre), and be free of any defects, bulges and cracking.
GO OUT ON A CHARGE
If you haven’t used your car for a while, the battery may have gone flat, with the same fate applying to plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs). If you don’t have the option of jump starting the car, and don’t have vehicle recovery at your home address on your breakdown policy, it is still possible to pay for it, or alternatively portable battery chargers and boosters to recharge the battery can be purchased. Once you have started the car, it is recommended that you go out for a 20 to 30 minute drive to allow the battery to charge up again.
If the battery has lost charge, it may also be worth checking the date on it, as batteries over five years old will generally be more susceptible to failing and might be worth replacing.
KEEP IT FLUID
It’s good practice with routine maintenance to check that all the vital fluids are topped up, such as oil and screenwash. For the oil, the level should sit between the two marks on the dipstick, whilst the latter should be equal to the “max” or “maximum” line.
STAY COVERED
Your car insurance may have also expired whilst the car was off the road, so before heading out, it’s worth just double checking that it’s still valid, and that you can drive legally. If it has expired, or the agreement didn’t renew automatically, you can get quotes online or over the phone from insurers when shopping around for a new policy.
CLEANLINESS IS KEY
Stationary cars, whether on a driveway, or when parked at the roadside, can gather dirt, grime and dust. Therefore, front and rear screens should be cleaned and be free of smears for maximum visibility, and all mirrors should also be wiped down. At the same time, you should also check your front are rear number plates are clearly visible.
CHECK YOUR LIGHTS ARE WORKING
Although we’re now getting used to the longer days of sunlight, the nights will soon start to draw in again, so it’s important to make sure that all of your front and rear lights are working before setting off. This includes the fog lamps.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR WILDLIFE
Static vehicles can provide an ideal nesting spot or home for some wildlife, so it’s worth giving the car a once over to ensure that no small animals are stowed away in the wheel arches, or have made the engine bay their home.
HEADING OUT…
When you start the car up for the first time, and all the necessary checks have been made, let the engine run to allow the oil to circulate, and if it’s convenient to do so, it’s advisable to go on a short drive, ideally on different types of roads, to be able to move through the gears, get the engine up to temperature and to recharge the battery.
