CLASSIC DUCKHAMS
Aug 22nd
I think there’s something very reassuring for old dinosaurs like me about those classic yellow Duckhams oil cans. Who remembers the TV ads from the seventies?
The iconic green-tinged engine oil has never really gone away but hasn’t always been promoted by previous owners but it is enjoying a renaissance at the moment.
Their 20w50 multigrade, SAE30 and SAE40 lubricants retain that distinctive colouring but the product has been improved but the blurb I received told me that modern manufacturing techniques have enhanced Duckham’s oils.
The yellow metal cans have been retained with 5-litre cans starting at £29.99 inc VAT with more from More >
MILWAUKEE PACKOUT SYSTEM FROM SUMMIT RACING
Aug 22nd
Add some really nice, fastener-busting wrenches to your Milwaukee PACKOUT system with a Milwaukee Combination Wrench Set. They feature a MAXBITE open end with serrated surfaces that provide 25 per cent more torque than smooth-faced wrenches. The MAXBITE end also reduces the chances of rounding or stripping nuts and bolts.
Other features include 12-point box ends with a 15-degree offset; rounded I-beam handle for comfort; ink-filled size labels for easy identification; and a durable chrome plated finish.
Milwaukee Combination Wrenches are available in 15-piece SAE, 15-piece metric, and 30-piece SAE/metric sets in a PACKOUT organiser with wrench trays and additional storage underneath.
THE GUYSON E12 AND GUYSON SANDBLASTER SPECIAL
Aug 22nd
SANDBLASTERS, E-TYPES AND MORE … STEVE HOLE TELLS THE MOTORSPORT STORY OF GUYSON INTERNATIONAL
Guyson Sandblaster Special built and driven by David Hepworth was Shell RAC Hillclimb Champion in 1969 and 1971
I guess the majority of totalkitcar.com and Classic Kit Cars & Specials readers may have heard of the Guyson E12, the work of the legendary, late William Towns. However, although the Jaguar E-type-based E12 was the only recorded collaboration between Towns and Guyson, the Leeds-based company did other cars, albeit race-inspired ones.
The company, Guyson International still exists and produces a variety of machinery focusing on industrial blasting and indeed, if More >
BUY THE BOOK!
Aug 15th
When this charming book landed on my desk the other day it raised a smile.
I read the accompanying note with interest and delight. It hailed from the granddaughter of the late Malcolm ‘Mac’ Tompson, who painstakingly documented every stage of his Mirage Lamborghini Countach replica.
Entitled ‘Building A Kit Car – Dream or Nightmare’? Mac also discussed the joys and nightmares he experienced during the process. It’s a very nice guide for anyone taking on such a build and some of the tips are universal and not just confined to a Countach.
I really like it because as I said it’s charming More >

IT MIGHT BE WARM NOW BUT YOU’LL NEED YOUR COAT IN A FEW MONTHS
Aug 15th
Many clearcoats tend to become opaque or ‘yellow’ over time, especially the high-gloss types. The coating experts at ZyCoat say their ZyClear Clear Coat is the first gloss clearcoat that won’t go yellow on you, even when applied to parts that see high temperatures.
ZyClear can be sprayed or wiped on directly to steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It will protect aluminium from oxidation and anodized surfaces from UV discolouration, and can be used as a topcoat for painted, chromed, polished and powdercoated parts.
ZyClear also makes a topcoat for parts like headers, turbos, manifolds, exhaust systems, and intercoolers that have More >
