HANOVER, Germany, April 2, 2014 (Korea Bizwire) – When spring ushers in, they are taken out of hibernation and fixed up –  vintage cars and modern classics.

Tips on regular classic-car care

Tyre expert Philip von Grolman of ReifenDirekt  knows: “Many classic car fans put nostalgic memories in connection with  their cars; others choose a coveted model as a form of investment. At  any rate, before driving such a desirable vehicle, one first needs to be  properly prepared. That also includes getting new  tyres.” The iconic machines also require special  regular care in order to maintain their value in the long run.  Vintage-car care also includes making sure the car remains in good  working order. Thus owners of classic cars should regularly check the  oil and if necessary, carry out oil  refills or replace the lubricant. Unlike newer models, classics  frequently require oil changes, some models as often as once every 3,000  miles. It is also important to use the right type of oil, as today’s  synthetic oils are not suitable for many vintage models.

However, the wave of nostalgia is not only limited to vehicles with four  wheels, two-wheelers are also along for the ride. “Old chopper and  cruiser flair is just as sought-after as that of retro  scooters. Those are particularly trendy among younger two-wheeler  enthusiasts,” says Andreas Faulstich, responsible specialist for  two-wheelers at Delticom.

Special  tyres for classics

After checking the oil, all the other usual checks should also be  carried out. The level of braking fluid should be measured as well as  the state, tread depth and pressure of the tyres. Again, vintage cars  often require a special type of tyres, so if need to replace them, make  sure you are properly informed.
