This is where Ring, a trusted and premium quality accessories manufacturer, can help.
Classic car owners want the best because the market is all about high quality and preservation, so when it comes to fixing and maintaining their cars, they want the best parts, service and accessories.
When preparing for a trip, there are the standard essentials drivers take, however as classic cars are usually stored for a long period of time and only driven on special occasions, there are a few accessories that would be handy to have stored in the car in case they’re needed.
Tyre care
Tyres, especially ones with old valves will leak air even when not in use. So if a classic car is being taken out, it is advisable to always check the tyre pressure even if the tyres look fine.
Quick checks can be done by Ring’s range of tyre gauges. If tyres need inflating then Ring’s new RTC4000 tyre inflator is perfect. Being rechargable and cordless, it doesn’t need to be powered from a 12V sockect. This means it is applicable for all classics even the models that pre-date 12V sockets. Being lightweight and compact means it can stored easily and used wherever the car goes.
If a puncture was to occur, instead of the hassle of fitting a spare, Ring tyre sealant kit, will get a driver back on the road sooner.
Battery
Similar to the tyre care accessories, classic cars may have been stored for a long period of time and therefore, the battery may be flat. To help prevent this from happening, Ring’s range of smart chargers can be left connected to a car battery without overcharging. The intelligent charger will know when a battery is fully charged and will go into a float mode. It will only add charge as the battery naturally discharges. So when a classic car comes out of winter hibernation its battery will be ready to go.
However, if the battery has been allowed to go flat, Ring’s compact lithium jumpstarters, the RPPL200 and RPLL300, are ideal. They will jumpstart the battery quickly and are so small in size you can store them in the car, ready to if needed again. No more hugely heavy and bulky powerpacks.
Bulbs
Being able to see effectively at night is vital, not just for the driver’s visibility but for the safety of other road users. So, if a bulb needs to be replaced, it stands to reason that classic car owners, who strive for premium quality in their vehicles, would want to replicate that quality with their consumables. Ring is a renowned lighting specialist, and so relying on its vast range of bulbs to not only fit a classic car, but also be premium quality and last a long time, is the ideal choice for owners.
So if classic car drivers are looking for more light on the road, a quick and easy upgrade can be achieved with Ring’s extensive range of halogen upgrade bulbs, such as Xenon200 or Xenon150, offering an expansive array of ECE bulbs types to fit all makes and models of vehicle.
Towing accessories
Alternatively, if a classic car owner doesn’t want to drive their car but instead wants to trail it to a show for instance, Ring can also assist here. The company has a comprehensive selection of towing equipment, including plugs and sockets, cables, mirrors, towbars and reflectors that will reassure any classic car owner that their car is safe throughout the journey.
