- Land Rover Defender Multi-Tool, £12, shop.landrover.com -
No fewer than 11 useful tools are packed into this handy gizmo, with a range of spanners, a bottle opener and a handy tyre tread depth gauge being just some of the highlights.
Best of all, it’s shaped like a true British icon and comes in a handy faux suede pouch.
- Book A Classic. from £50, bookaclassic.com -
Think of this clever new service as the Airbnb of the classic car world, with customers able to book and drive the car of their dreams.
Search thousands of vintage beauties, which are lovingly maintained by owners, then select a date that works.
The site has everything from classic Bentleys, Jags and Lamborghinis to buses, speedboats and even a tank.
Pirelli P Zero Sound Bluetooth speaker, £2,588, mementoexclusives.com) -
OK, so you could probably purchase a nice second hand car for the price of this, but it’s not often you get to own a real slice of F1 history.
Pirelli produced this real 1:2 scale replica of the P Zero tyre for F1 teams to use during wind tunnel testing.
Now, it has been transformed into a powerful Bluetooth speaker and one of the coolest house adornments any petrol head could want.
LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron, £329.99, shop.lego.com) -
Only a lucky few will ever set foot in Bugatti’s range-topping hypercar, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give a little slice of Chiron this Christmas.
Comprising 3,599 deeply technical Lego pieces, this model features an eight-speed gearbox with moving paddle shifters and plenty more to keep (big) kids entertained.
P&Co. Travel Mug, £13.99, pand.co) -
A British brand trading on the cool custom motorcycle and hot rod cultures, P & Co. offers a range of clothing and accessories that is so hip it hurts.
This excellent travel mug features the brand’s “Caffeine & Gasoline” motto, while simultaneously helping rid the planet of nasty single use cups.
Porsche dog lead. £52, shop1.porsche.com) -
MOST READ IN MOTORS
Porsche fans can show their dedication to the brand by clipping their pet pooch to arguably the most over-engineered (and expensive) dog lead in the world.
There’s even a matching collar available, should you wish to complete the package.
Unfortunately, RUF weren’t involved in the design of this one.
