Why should I join a Classic Travelling tour?

aa046050modified 179x119 custom Why should I join a Classic Travelling tour?Classic Travelling takes away the hassle and guesswork from a touring holiday. Your free time is precious and so you want to know that you will be driving the best roads in the area, staying at charming hotels, and that your car will have suitable parking each night. You want to know what there is to do, see and visit on each day of your trip, without having to do hours of research, or missing anything of interest.

The tour is organised, but you aren’t. This is no regimental exercise and you are free to spend your days as you wish, at your own pace, doing exactly want you want. All we ask is that you arrive at the accommodation we have booked on your behalf each evening.

We provide you with a tour book to help you make the most of your trip. This book contains your route directions and maps, accommodation information, and describes everything we think may be of interest to you, that you will be passing by each day. The tour book also gives you a little bit of history to the area, and may include some little anecdotes or stories about the places you are passing through. The idea of the book is to help you have all the information you need in just one place, and not be cluttered with various guide books, leaflets and maps.

Rozalex Creams

rozalex ad 300x203 Rozalex CreamsCan you remember Rozalex Barrier Cream?

Rozalex was the product that all home mechanics, car enthusiasts and aviation engineers used to protect their hands from the ravages of those endless days under the car or even manufacturing aeroplanes. Used since the 1920’s its highly likely your car was made and maintained by workers using this product.

The product range still exists and the new owners are now giving it a new lease of life. The brand is supplied to British industry and does a brisk trade, however Andrew Dean and Nick Angel, a pair of confirmed classic car enthusiasts, would like to see it being used again by classic car owners again.

Rozalex is a range of products which help protect the hands. There are barrier creams which protect the hands against oil, solvents, paint, water/solvent mixes and general grime. The cream repels and blocks contaminants, making it easier to clean up. Cleansers, which are like the green stuff – but better, and a reconditioning cream which ensures when you get back home your hands are moisturized and supple.
