JU E 20 2 AFTERMARKET 7 Motul joins classic car loan project Motul has become the official lubricants partner for the UK’s Classic Car Loan Project, which encourages the next cohort of classic car enthusiasts to become owners and users of the cars, by letting them borrow a classic for a year. There are more than 20 vehicles in the scheme this year, ranging from a 1987 MG Maestro, through to 1960s examples like the Morris Minor and Vauxhall Victor, to pre- war vehicles such as the Austin 7 and even a 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton. Scheme manager Bob Wilkinson said: “Looking after a classic obviously involves regular basic maintenance, hence we are delighted to welcome Motul, with the breadth and quality of its product range, to our group of partner brands and organisations.” Andy Wait, Head of UK Motul PCMO Sales, added: “The project ties in well with Motul’s ethos to support young motoring enthusiasts.” Follow us on Facebook @aftermarketmagazine Sponsored by:
