MORE HERITAGE FROM JENVEY
Nov 14th
It’s probably fair to say that since it was launched in 2016, the Jenvey range of Heritage DCOE Throttle Bodies has revolutionised the classic kitcar market – as well as the classic car scene, too, of course.
The Shropshire-based company has been busy meeting demand for their range in the intervening three years but have just announced three new addition to their Heritage range.
First up, is a complete new Jenvey manifold and water-pipe designed to suit the Jaguar XK straight-six engine. The company’s marketing manager, Emma Jenvey told me: “There is a gap in the market for this manifold, which we have now filled! More >

DETAIL, RAPIDLY

I have to admit that until very recently I’d not heard of car care brand Tenzi from Poland. I’m glad I have now, though! A brand established over 20-years, the products are available in 50 countries on three continents. I like their mantra of ‘advantage through quality’, too. Poland is a big player in the world of car care, incidentally.
It was a friend of mine who suggested I explore their Detailer range. As I said. I’m glad I did.
We’ll be doing a standalone introduction to the Tenzi brand in the upcoming January/February 2020 issue of TKC Mag and also thanks More >

For many kitcar owners, reversing can be a chore, whether it be due to poor visibility, misted-up rear screen or difficult angles. Then, of course, there’s the possibility of someone walking directly behind your car.
This new bulb from Better Car Lighting is a novel upgrade. Not only does it throw out more light but it also emits an audible beep. Best of all, it only uses a fraction of the power of a standard bulb. There’ll be no doubt that yep, you are definitely reversing if you fit one of these.
There’s no issue with fitment and if you can a More >

MINI DAMPERS
Nov 7th
Winter is coming and a lot of classic-Mini-based kitcar owners will be thinking about taking their cars off the road for some restoration.
GAZ Shocks is probably best-known for its competition and performance suspension, but if you are thinking about replacing your Mini’s shock absorbers, GAZ also offers telescopic dampers for the Mini to standard specifications.
Actually, it’s more of a ‘standard plus’ specification; although the dampers are the same size as the originals and a direct bolt-on fit, they do offer the extra benefit of full bump and rebound adjustability by means of an easy-to-reach adjuster knob on the side. This More >
