FAQs
What makes classic car servicing different from modern vehicles?
Classic cars often have mechanical systems that require hands-on adjustments and specialised knowledge. Unlike modern vehicles with computerised diagnostics, older models rely on manual tuning and vintage parts. Servicing a classic car involves understanding its original design and knowing how to preserve or enhance it without compromising authenticity. It’s a more personalised and detailed process.
Can I upgrade my classic car without losing its vintage appeal?
Yes, many owners choose subtle upgrades that improve performance or safety while keeping the car’s original look. Examples include modern brake systems, improved suspension or discreet electronic ignition setups. The key is choosing upgrades that complement the vehicle’s character. A skilled classic car mechanic can guide you through options that balance reliability with heritage.
How often should I service my classic car if I don’t drive it regularly?
Even if your classic car isn’t a daily driver, regular servicing is essential to prevent deterioration. Fluids can break down, seals can dry out and tyres can develop flat spots. A seasonal check-up—especially before long drives or shows—helps keep everything in working order. It also ensures your car stays safe and ready to enjoy whenever you take it out.
