PLAYMOBIL 2CV £44.99
The legendary Citroën 2CV is now available as a charming Playmobil model, suitable for children from age five to 99! The model is full of details including a faithfully recreated interior, openable rear hatch door, characteristic headlights and a functioning sunroof. The headlights are interchangeable between transparent and yellow colouring for that Parisian look, and a sheet of stickers included in the set offers up four number plate options from different countries, as well as a selection of other stickers for personalising the model further.

FULL CHROME PETROL CAP FROM £29.99
Available for a wide range of classics, from Alfa Romeo, Audi and Austin through to Wartburg, Wolseley and ZAZ, these new locking fuel filler caps have been designed in the UK and built in Europe to meet strict EU standards. They are fully chromed for maximum retro zazzle, and are suitable for all fuel types, having been tested with 100 per cent Bio-ethanol to ensure they will be compatible with whichever blend of pump petrol you choose to fill your classic up with. Modern classic options are also available, too.

Fit and forget
MAINTENANCE-FREE BALL JOINTS FOR CLASSIC MINIS £59.90 (EACH) £224.64 (SET OF FOUR)
Mini Spares is now offering these high-quality Japanese sealed ball joints for classic Minis, after three years in development. Unlike the original Mini design, these maintenance-free ball joints do not require periodic adjustments of the shim and are pre-loaded for easy installation. As no shimming is required, they can be fitted in a relatively short period of time. They mount as a direct replacement in the same way as the original and can be fitted to the top and bottom without disturbing the suspension’s geometry. They can also be installed without the need for a deep socket by simply removing the dust boot prior to fitting and then tightening to the required torque. Part numbers: C-GSJ166 (each), C-GSJ166KIT (set).
