Owners of classic cars will understand the importance of protecting their cars from the elements and as a result many classic cars are put away for storage as the winter months approach. Taking a few simple precautions prior to storing your car will ensure that the following spring its in tip top condition.

Even a fully charged battery will lose some of its charge over time. A heavily discharged battery can suffer permanent damage. This can easily be avoid be either fitting a trickle charger to the battery or recharging with a normal battery charger once a month.

If a car is left in the same position for a long period of time the tyres can become slightly misshapen. While not visible to the naked eye as misshapen tyre will cause the wheel to be slightly out of balance and while be noticed when driving the car. Over inflating your tyres can prevent this problem. There are two things you need to be very aware of, firstly do not inflate the tyre beyond the maximum pressure stated by the tyre manufacturer and secondly don’t forget to reduce the tyre pressure when the car is driven again.

Some people advocate the use of petrol stabilisers, my experience is that while petrol can degrade over time I have never found the need to put additives in the tank. If your car has a metal petrol tank, as most older cars do then make sure the tank is nearly full before storage. This will help prevent condensation forming on the inside of the tank that could lead to rusting.  Read more...
