British classic cars are some of the most desirable models on the planet, enjoyed by enthusiasts living in a wide variety of climates.
These owners know, and appreciate, that staying comfortable in the cabin when behind the wheel is an important consideration, which is why a bespoke heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system developed by Clayton Classics makes all the difference.
Classic cars: from uAE to USA
Classics deserved to be driven and enjoyed, no matter where they are located around the world.
Indeed, we have customers living in a variety of locations benefitting from our state-of-the-art heating and cooling solutions.
As well as the UK, our systems are keeping customers comfortable in the UAE, France, Germany and Australia. Customers in the USA, especially California and Florida, are also enjoying a pleasurable drive in their classic thanks to Clayton Classics.
closer to home
Of course, owners in the UK also know all too well how weather can impact the driving experience of a classic car. One minute it’s glorious sunshine, the next minute it’s pouring with rain.
While the UK’s climate is milder than many others, the difference in temperature between the four seasons can still be huge, also requiring high-performing HVAC systems in classic cars.
VISIBILITY AND CLASSIC INTERIOR PROTECTION IN COLD WEATHER
Having clear windows in a classic as the temperature falls is possible with an upgraded heating system.
No matter where the British classic is being driven, misty windows are no longer an issue.
Famous UK marques benefiting from Clayton’s heaters include Triumph, Jaguar, MG, Rolls-Royce, Daimler, Austin Healey, Bentley and Aston Martin.
However, clear windows are just one of the benefits of a Clayton Classics heating system.
Obviously, drivers and passengers feel warm, and comfortable, inside the cabin with a regular flow of warm air enveloping them – whether that’s driving through the German Black Forest or foothills of the French Alps.
Meanwhile, a Clayton Classics heating system can also play an important role in protecting the interior of a classic car.
This is the case in cold temperatures, which can have the damaging impact of cracking leather car seats. A regular warm airflow provides a layer of protection, as well as keeping the interior dry.
Aside from the comfort factor, a modern heating system can add value to a classic car, a key consideration if the car is ever sold.
KEEPING CLASSICS COOL IN HOT WEATHER
A classic car air conditioning upgrade also offers multiple benefits, especially in some of the world’s hotter climates such as Australia or the desert conditions near Dubai.
It can be an uncomfortable and stuffy driving classic hardtops, or when the roof is up on a convertible.
This needn’t be the case with a bespoke, upgraded air conditioning system that has been developed and tested around the world in extreme climates.
Our systems, which are constantly being developed, provide the high performance of an air conditioning system found in modern cars, cooling the cabin to a pleasant temperature quickly, and effortlessly.
Additionally, the fitting of a modern bespoke climate control system, designed for the vehicle and which fits seamlessly, offers increased dependability and improved efficiency – a major factor for possible buyers.
THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS – WHEREVER YOU ARE IN WORLD
Wherever you are, it is possible to own a classic that delivers an exceptional driving performance, looks fantastic and is as comfortable as a modern vehicle in all climates.
