FIVE-POT HEART

The unusual yet well-loved five-cylinder Volvo T5 engine is celebrated on this funky printed T-shirt by Swedish Boost Mafia. This new release is the coolest piece we have seen yet from the Volvo-fanatic brand, and features a retro Vaporwave exploded diagram of the T5’s cylinder head. It doesn’t mention Volvo on the T-shirt, however, so fans of other marques won’t be nailing their colours to the wrong mast if they simply fancy a T-shirt with a cool engine on it, while Ford fans will likely recognise the unit as that from the Mk2 Focus ST and RS. It’s available for £20.99 in six sizes, from S-3XL, in white, grey or black, and the background of the design can be specified in yellow or blue on any of the colours.

Tailpipe trinket

Although offered by the MG Ownersʼ Club, this adjustable stainless-steel exhaust tip will fit any exhaust with a diameter of 45-55mm. Itʼs a superficial but simple way of brightening the appearance of the rear of your vehicle, especially if the fitted exhaust is made of basic mild steel. It measures 60 x 152mm and can also serve to extend the exhaust slightly further from the bumper. It costs £12.95; a variant with a rolled rim is available at the same price.

Put a (fancy) cork in it

It doesnʼt quite fit with the Champagne-spraying antics you might associate with motor racing, but Bentley is now providing the opportunity to turn your half-finished bottles of fizz into miniature sculptures honouring the ʻFlying Bʼ. This stopper is chrome-plated zinc alloy with rubber rings and stands 7.9cm tall. The latest crest is used, redesigned in Bentleyʼs centenary year of 2019, but it will still make a desirable piece of kitchenware for owners of Bentleys of any age. Itʼs priced at £75 and comes in a gift box.
