Ten Christmas gifts for classic car lovers

Christmas is approaching and from LA ESCUDERÍA we leave you a list with ten suggestions that will delight any vintage car enthusiast.

Taking into account that all of you who read LA ESCUDERÍA have behaved very well this year, we are convinced that The Three Wise Men and Santa Claus are going to bring you everything you have asked for this Christmas. 

But just in case you forgot to write the letter because you are not sure what to ask for, or you are looking for a good gift for an invisible friend who has a love for classic vehicles. We leave you a list with ten of the most interesting suggestions. 

PLAYMOBIL CITROËN 2CV

Classic car fans still maintain the illusion of a child, and although many of our current toys run on gasoline, The Citroën 2CV that Playmobil has launched promises to appeal to all those who love the most popular classics, as is the case of “Dos Caballos”. Although this is one of the many suggestions we could make from the German toy brand, which has a wide catalog of iconic cars. 

MERCEDES PAGODA CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT

From the classic car items store Mercedes-Benz have launched a limited edition Christmas tree ornament, shaped like a Mercedes W113, popularly known as Mercedes Pagoda. The item is available in three colors; red, turquoise and silver, and a 300 SL with a silver Christmas tree is also offered. 

BOOK: THE 600. A DREAM ON WHEELS

Books are an essential gift at any time of the year, but especially requested for Christmas. A suggestion is the book that Javi Martín, one of our editors, wrote about the SEAT 600, the classic Spanish car par excellence and an essential gift in any fan's library. 

MANU CAMPA SHEETS

Any classic car lover takes great care of the decoration of their home or the space in which they store their cars. One of the best ideas to provide a different and artistic touch is with the prints that the Madrid painter Manu Campa sells through its website. 

PORTABLE BATTERY STARTER

Every classic car owner has ever had a problem with their vehicle related to the battery that could have easily been solved with the following article. The jump starter can be charged at home and can get a struggling classic out of trouble. 

LEGO SCOOTERS

Lego is another legendary company that offers a wide variety of classic vehicles in its catalog. The iconic Vespa is one of the nicest that the Danish brand offers, which is also offered in two sizes, making it accessible for all budgets. 

CASTROL CLASSIC OIL

Christmas is a time when we do not deprive ourselves of the best delicacies at mealtime, and the same should happen with a classic car, with a specific oil for older engines like those that Castrol manufactures. 

MAZDA MIATA SLIPPERS

Another of the most typical Christmas gifts are slippers or house slippers. If you are looking to give a more creative twist to this more traditional gift, We suggest these slippers in the shape of the popular and friendly Mazda Miata, which also seem to be very warm. 

CITROËN COOKIE MOLDS

A very common activity during these holidays is making sweets. A very nice gift is the cube available on the brand's website with the profile silhouette of some cars such as the 2CV, the Type H, or the Ami 6, on each of its faces. 

BOOK: EDUARDO BARREIROS, MY FANTASTIC GREAT-GRANDFACE 

We do not forget the little ones on this list, and it is very important to instill this beautiful hobby in them from a young age. The children's book tells the incredible story of one of the most important businessmen in Spain, Eduardo Barreiros.

Written by Javillac

This thing about cars comes to one since childhood. When other kids preferred the bicycle or the ball, I kept the toy cars.
I still remember as if it were yesterday a day when a black 1500 overtook us on the A2, or the first time I saw a Citroën DS parked on the street, I have always liked chrome bumpers.

In general, I like things from before the time I was born (some say I'm reincarnated), and at the top of that list are cars, which, together with music, make the ideal combination for a perfect time: driving and a soundtrack according to the corresponding car.

As for cars, I like classics of any nationality and era, but my weakness is American cars from the 50s, with their exaggerated shapes and dimensions, which is why many people know me as "Javillac".
