The release of the new range of MGs, the MG6 GT, MG Zero Concept and the MG 5 Concept in the last couple of years caused a slight stir throughout the industry, bringing this great British classic back to life and recalling bygone days of British engineering glory. The solidity of German engineering and the sleek reliability of the Japanese motor are indisputable, but will, for many, never replace the thrill of a true British Classic. The motor industry in the UK really began at the end of the 19th century, when the Daimler Motor Company began its first serial production of motor cars in Coventry; after the lifting of rather severe restrictions on the trade designed to protect the highways. The first completely British built motor appeared in 1900, designed by Herbert Austin who launched the famous Austin Car Works in Longbridge, Birmingham. Other early movers and shakers included Henry Ford in Manchester, Sunbeam in Wolverhampton and Rover, who began some years earlier in bicycle manufacture and were based in Coventry, moving to Solihull at the end of the Second World War. Morris and Singer soon joined them, creating a solid foundation for the British motor industry. The years of the Great War (WW1) had a serious effect on the industry. Much industry was geared towards the war effort and production of weapons and armoury, meaning that motor car development took a back seat, but new, automated methods of production and leaps forward in design facilitated by this increase in mass production were to have a very positive result across the industry. The Second World War had much the same result, and laws controlling the use of steel in the export markets meant that by the middle of the twentieth century, Britain’s automobile trade was thriving, exporting more cars across the globe than any other country. Although American and German production began to ramp up, the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s saw the production of many of the great British classics still venerated by today’s enthusiast.
The Mini Cooper Another 1960’s icon has to be the Mini. Popularised in The Italian Job, this little car became the epitome of British city life as fashionable as Mary Quant. Another big seller, the Mini worked as a run-around, a performance car and even a rally motor, and its classic design, though utterly revamped, is still rolling off production today, with fascinatingly 1960’s inspired concept cars being shown each year.
The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow The Silver Shadow was produced throughout the 60’s into 1980, and was long the height of luxury, and presented an innovative design from the manufacturers in keeping with the periods standards of comfort and splendour. A favoured mode of wedding transportation, this British classic actually sold incredibly well in the USA. It’s distinctive grill, powerful engine and solid, beautifully built design have appealed throughout the ages.
British design and production has resulted in arguably some of the most iconic car designs of all time. Here are our top 5:
The Jaguar E Type Of its time and yet utterly modern, the E Type has a huge fan base which grew from humble beginnings from its initial release in 1961, through to and past final production in 1975. Reasonably economic pricing meant that somewhere in the region of 70,000 were sold. Its’ incredibly sleek, distinctive front end has been the inspiration for countless sports cars ever since, gaining cult status throughout the industry.
The MGB To many, MG was the ultimate in British sports cars. The MGB in all its forms was the world’s best selling sports car, and came as a roadster or coupe. The design was modern and lightweight for its era, making it a reasonably priced performance option with a distinctive look.
The Aston Martin DB5 Another luxury brand, Aston Martin, produced the utterly cult DB5. An absolute design classic, famously favoured by James Bond, with the prototype model actually being used for filming in 1964’s oldfinger. Packed with luxurious features and bold styling, this car was, and is, James Bonds perfect motor. 5
AUTOMOBILIA Do you know what a velologist collects? We didn’t, until the scrappage of the paper tax disc bought to light a whole new side of automobilia for us. Before you hurry to get your October 2014 disc on eBay, bear in mind that the big prices are for rare and much more elderly discs. Those which are still in their perforated sheet command better prices, as are those with recognisable perforation edging or margins. Automobilia as a whole is very collectable indeed, with prices increasing significantly. As an investment, it is hard to go too far wrong with classic memorabilia as it becomes increasingly rare and hard to find, which keeps prices buoyant. It is a fascinating hobby, preserving vast parts of motoring heritage with many sub genres depending on your interests. Most people end up collecting a particular field, such as certain items or parts; or items corresponding to their favourite marque – as with any collectable, value is directly linked to desirability and rarity. Books, brochures, handbooks and others are popular items, possibly simply because they can be pored over and are very useful for research purposes, as well as entertaining at times. Advertising posters and indeed magazines with advertising in are also highly sought after, relatively easy to store and require light maintenance. Accessories are also hard to beat. From collectibles such as key rings, cufflinks, ashtrays and glassware, many manufacturers have long made and sold lots of interesting ephemera which is often small and easy to store properly, as well as being interesting and pleasant on the eye. Toy cars and models are a large subsection of the field, from little diecast toys by Matchbox or Dinky (these can be quite rare and valuable now, as most were used as toys and few survive) to model kits and more. Some collectors concentrate on ever more specialised fields, from spark plugs to tin signs or scrapped number plates.
6
Some finds are easy – on well-known second hand sites, via clubs and other enthusiasts. Bigger ticket items will often be sold via auction, with even the big names such as Bonhams running automobilia events. It is also worth checking out autojumbles at sites nationwide including Beaulieu and Newark, as there are many bargains to be had. As they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!
DRINK DRIVING and the Legal Alcohol Limit In these enlightened times, the vast majority of us are aware enough of the facts and risks of drink driving to avoid it altogether. It is hard to believe, that as recently as 2012, well over 1,000 people were injured as a result of drink-driving, but this issue is clearly still a problem, and it always pays to make sure you fully understand the facts and the laws which apply. Driving safely requires more physiological control than you may realise, and even a minimal amount of alcohol can affect co-ordination, the amount of time it takes your brain to receive and process what you can see and the reaction time of your body to those messages. Alcohol affects vision clarity too, making hazards harder to perceive. It can also affect space and depth perception, and make you more reckless than you ordinarily would be, even in very small amounts. •
the brain takes longer to receive messages from the eye
•
processing information becomes more difficult
•
instructions to the body’s muscles are delayed, resulting in slower reaction times.
you are over the limit, you will automatically be charged. Anyone charged and convicted will be subjected to a minimum of a 12 month ban. If you are caught twice within 10 years, this can rise to a 3 year ban. Fines apply, and can be unlimited, and depending on the seriousness of the offence and how impaired you were deemed to be. A conviction can also result in a custodial prison sentence. If you are a repeat offender, or were charged with driving with an 87.5mg alcohol breath level, there is no guarantee you will have your licence renewed at the end of the disqualification period, as high risk offenders are subject to medical examinations before it can be returned. Refusing to submit to a breathalyser or blood alcohol test also carries a penalty. As well as losing your mode of transport, facing a fine and a criminal conviction, your insurance premiums will increase significantly, and if your profession involves driving, you may find employment prospects disappear.
Although the obvious answer is to not drink at all prior to driving, there are legal limits in place. In England and Wales the current law states that the alcohol limit for legal driving is: •
80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood
•
35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath
•
107 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine
This amount doesn’t directly relate to a number of units of alcohol, because the amount you would drink to produce these results varies from person to person according to your weight, gender and metabolism. There is no way to check exactly what your personal limit may be, meaning that the safest way to stay under the limit is to abstain. Eating and age also have an effect. Agree a designated driver, or arrange for a taxi cab, or public transport. There are now some very palatable alcohol free lagers and ciders on the market, so if you really feel you must have a drink to be sociable, give one of these a try instead.
What happens? If you do decide to drive after drinking alcohol and are caught, the penalties (aside from the obvious risk of injury or death you place yourself and others in) are substantial. You will be screened, usually at the roadside with a breathalyser test. If your breath alcohol levels are over the legal limit, or if you show other signs of alcohol impairment, you will be arrested and taken to your local police station, where you will provide 2 further complex breath specimens to determine whether you are over the legal limit and by how much. Depending on how far over the limit your lower result breath test shows you are, you have the right to a secondary type of test, blood or urine. If

In the
Club… If you haven’t already, have you considered joining a classic car owners club? In these pages 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.

Off roading is an increasingly popular sport, involving the use of a variety of vehicles across non road terrain, from 4 x 4s and ATV’s to bikes and beyond. It certainly is not an easy hobby, taking skill and the right vehicle for the terrain, but if you are interested in learning about off roading, then there are a variety of clubs and association to help you get started. Off road vehicles can be any type of vehicle which is capable of crossing any non paved surface from muddy countryside, to desert, snow, rocks or ice. Generally this includes ATV’s, 4x4’s, and large vehicles with special suspension, low gear capabilities to fully utilise engine power in difficult terrain, and large, open tread tyres. The increase of 4x4 vehicles in the mid 20th century, primarily as working utility vehicles led to the beginning of the hobby, which has led to the evolution of different types of vehicle designed to cross between country or off road use; and those specifically for leisure and sporting purposes. In
18
the UK, environment means that off roading clubs and tracks tend to access countryside tracks and rough terrain. More serious devotees will be able tot ravel abroad to try ATV’s in deserts or glaciers on specialist trips. BORDA, the British Off Road Driving Association has a strict code of conduct to ensure the safety of participants and to help allay any environmental concerns, and offer a full members list of clubs, training schools and providers who adhere properly to these points of conduct. See their website www.borda.org.uk for further information.

CLASSIC & VINTAGE CARS

CLASSIC & VINTAGE CARS
There is a difference, and increasingly, that difference can affect the projected values of a classic car in the UK. Conservation is gaining popularity over a full strip down, ground up restoration for many owners. Although for many years, the aim has been to rebuild and restore a classic car into a shining, new version of its previous self, preservation works in order to conserve as much of the cars original body and parts as possible, retaining the character it has developed through years of use. Restoration will mean new parts, chrome work or upholstery, where preservation works to repair and carefully enhance the original car with its faults and history on proud display.
If you happen to own a British classic, such as a Mini or Rover, you can apply to the British Motor Heritage Trust for a Heritage Certificate that will confirm the exact specification of your vehicle when it left the factory.
Of course, for many owners, a shiny, reliable and day to day car is the end goal, and sometimes it just isn’t possible to preserve a real antique in all its original beauty, but estimates suggest that a beautifully preserved example with original paint colours and workmanship may well just have the edge in terms of value.
“ Restoration will mean new parts, chrome work or upholstery, where preservation works to repair and carefully enhance the original car ” Classic car owners usually enjoy the feeling of authenticity and reverence for the engineering of their cars era, making the end result more valuable to some. This must be weighed against the cost of the work, as a real preservation job will usually employ many more hours of workmanship as each piece of bodywork or upholstery is painstakingly repaired and restored rather than replaced, taking the cost of conservation higher than a straightforward restoration with new parts. If you can, try to track down paperwork such as previous MOT’s, receipts for parts used in the past, and any other paperwork relevant to the cars history, which will add value and authenticity. If you don’t have those, it may be worth contacting your marque owners club to find out if there is any way to trace former owners and try to build up a picture of the cars past history. If your classic car is British, try contacting the British Motor Heritage Trust, as you may be able to apply for a Heritage Certificate which will confirm the cars original authenticity, factory spec and any other info held.

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.

Okay, so average fuel consumption can vary wildly from car to car and some are always going to be more economically friendly than others, but there are things you can do which won’t ruin your driving pleasure but can help to drastically reduce your fuel bill. With petrol currently at record lows (time of writing!), see if you can save even more with our fuel saving tips:
The Car: Check your tyre pressures. According to the manufacturer’s specifications as under inflated tyres can dramatically increase fuel consumption by creating extra friction. Maintenance. Service the car regularly to ensure your engine is in tip top condition performing as efficiently as possible. Also make sure you are using the correct oil for your car and keep it topped up to optimum levels to keep efficiency Luggage. Extra and not necessary weight in and on the car is a big factor in fuel consumption. Remove roof racks or boxes while not in use, and don’t carry excess equipment in the car unless you need it on each specific journey Scrape the car rather than waiting for the engine to heat up and defrost your windscreen Fuel. Fill up when it’s cold, rather than too warm. Petrol is denser when the temperature is lower, meaning when it warms up, you are actually getting less bang for your buck.
of the car too Electrics. Heaters, rear windscreen heater, lights – all use up fuel, so if you don’t need them, turn them off Lift your foot up. Try not to over accelerate, instead use the gas smoothly and with time to speed up or slow down without unnecessary force or braking Slow down. Speed limits are there for a reason, and it’s not topsoil your fun. Safety is so important, but speeding also adds to your fuel bill. Once you get past around 60mph, fuel efficiency decreases sharply Gear up. Change up earlier rather than later. Modern cars are designed to perform well in higher gears, and it is usually not necessary to push the car further than 2,000rpm (more in diesel motors) if you are driving smoothly and intelligently Stop Start. Whether to idle or turn the engine off in traffic has always been a matter of debate. Yes, you may save petrol when the car isn’t running, but unless the engine is warm and running well, you may use more restarting than if you had left it idling. It is actually better to roll slowly in traffic, avoiding stops and starts, as increasing acceleration to start moving uses more fuel than rolling gently with the traffic. On the other hand, modern eco engines with stop start style technology are designed to cope well with frequent restarts, with up-rates batteries and starters. The technology will also sense when this is not economically efficient, such as when the engine is very cold or using a lot of electrical power with lights, air con and sound systems, putting less pressure on the battery and fuel consumption.
The Journey: Plan your route properly. If you are driving anywhere unfamiliar, use a sat nav by all means but check the route before you leave to give you extra security and avoid any unnecessary diversions Combine trips. Cars are much more efficient when already warm, so try to make sure all your errands can be combined into one journey Cut the air con. It’s a lovely feature to have, but often an open window will be sufficient, and most air conditioning systems have a significant impact on fuel consumption. That said, it is a good idea to run the system on a weekly basis just the clear it through and maintain condition; and bear in mind that open windows reduce the aerodynamic efficiency 61

ACCESSORIES
TOWBARS In order to tow a trailer, classic car or caravan you will need to fit a towbar to your towing vehicle. There are literally, thousands of towbars available to buy but which one you should choose will depend on your Towing vehicle’s make and model and your towing needs. Towbars don’t always come with vehicle electrical kits included (to connect lights etc), so you may have to purchase this separately. All of this, as well as the fact that you must strictly adhere to the legal requirements for towing, may sound very complicated and daunting. Fortunately, there are a large number of reputable companies that can source the correct towbar for your vehicle and fit it, along with connecting all the necessary electrics. The National Trailer and Towing Association (NTTA) has a list of approved fitting centres on its website www.ntta. co.uk. Alternatively, they also have a list of mobile fitters that can do the work in a more convenient location. As the driver, however, it is your responsibility to: • • •
Ensure that the towing vehicle’s engine is powerful enough to pull the towed vehicle or trailer and its load Ensure that the towing vehicle’s brakes are able to stop the vehicle plus trailer safely Check that the gross weight of the trailer does not exceed the towing capacity of the towing vehicle (this information can be found in the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook and on the VIN plate on the chassis)
Furthermore when loading and coupling the trailer/ classic vehicle/caravan care must be taken: •
• • • • • • • •
Balance and weight distribution must be taken into account and loads must be as evenly distributed as possible Trailers must not be overloaded Lights must be working correctly and not be damaged Check the 7 core cable and plug are undam aged Make sure the correct number plate is fitted and is not obscured in anyway Check that the tyre pressures are correct (hand book will have loaded pressures) on the vehicle and the trailer Is the coupling height correct? It should be not excessively low or high. Is the trailer correctly coupled to the towbar Are any necessary mudguards in place
If you are a new to towing, or are lacking in confidence, and feel like you need some help and advice with driving and maneuvering your vehicle and trailer/caravan then there are a number of companies that offer courses. These courses will give you training in handling your trailer/caravan including skills such as cornering and reversing safely, and they can offer instruction for driving test that enable drivers to tow heavier loads. A loaded trailer can have a serious effect on vehicle performance, such as: • • • •
Starting and moving off, particularly on hills or inclines, will be much more laboured Longer distances will be needed for stopping and slowing down Extra care will be needed when negotiating tight corners and bends Fuel efficiency will be affected but there are ways of minimising this
Loads must be securely restrained as loose loads Before you begin towing, know the law and take extra can lead to a loss of stability care with loading, coupling and driving. 69
