A classic car upgrade is an exciting prospect but, can also raise questions as to what is possible. There are also considerations such as will it be discreet and in-keeping with the style of the vehicle? Furthermore, other factors to consider are what are the benefits of modern engineering that can apply to classic cars? At Clayton Classics, we have lots of experience in classic car upgrades, so we put together our top questions you should ask before starting any projects on your classic.
will it be discreet?
We know drivers are concerned that an upgrade to a classic car can look bolted on or jarring against the style of their car. That’s why we always prioritise discretion, for example, in our air conditioning systems for classic cars. Our tried and proven precision engineering has been benefitting classic car owners for decades. Indeed, a discreet, high-performing upgrade is an ideal opportunity to get the most out of a classic car, and in particular our climate control systems make driving a classic an absolute joy, no matter the weather.
What options are possible in a classic car upgrade?
As well as climate control systems, Clayton Classics has other upgrades that are perfect for owners who may not need a full restoration, but still want an effective way to enhance the safety and performance of their vehicle. These include electrical upgrades, power steering, fuel injection systems, seat and radiator upgrades, to name a few.
will it complement the vehicle?
Whatever you do to your classic, you want it to feel like it fits, almost as if any changes could have been there when it was first made. For us, every upgrade is given the time and respect it deserves, so it is premium, subtle and stylish. But style doesn’t compromise performance as functionality is always a key focus to deliver the best performance for your classic.
can it include any benefits of modern engineering?
Technology has advanced massively throughout the history of cars – so why not embrace some of the benefits and comforts in your classic? We have spent decades pioneering the development of precision engineering, so upgrades balance authenticity and high-performance. Working in partnership with our clients, we want to show that modern engineering can blend seamlessly with motoring heritage. We are also constantly developing new systems and custom-designed products as technology advances, which we can fit or, in some cases, supply in kit form to support DIY restorations.
