Classic cars and kitcars are easier to steal than mainstream ones. There is such a worldwide market for parts, that they are also easier for thieves to dispose of and most parts are virtually untraceable.

We can make it more difficult for thieves. Complex security alarms are not suitable.

The nature and use patterns of classic and kit cars make them problematic, with flat batteries and then starting problems.

If we discount those, then we are left with the two most important features: deterrents and immobilisation. This simple and easy-to-install system consists of a high-quality, two-pole, miniature security switch. It closes one circuit while opening the other. This means that it can open-circuit an ignition system or fuel pump live, or starter circuit while switching on a deterrent LED.

The bright red flashing LED is highly visible but draws so little current that it would take several months to affect a healthy car battery. The switch is small enough to be hidden away.

Fitting non-standard equipment to older cars is always problematic, as a lack of thought will result in a spoiling of the original character, so we give you a couple of

choices for the deterrent aspect. For maximum visibility, you can choose the window-mounted module, which flashes a streak of bright red across the windscreen when mounted in a corner, and is hardly noticeable when off.

Or, you can select the subtle period-style lens with the flashing red LED pushed in from the back. When this is fitted into a dash or console, it blends in and looks original.

This simple and highly effective upgrade costs just £72 inc VAT and comes with a

money-back guarantee and full instructions.
