These are the best Christmas presents for car lovers

We’re on the road to Christmas and that means a lot of people will be considering the ideal gift for friends and family. Nearly everyone knows someone who loves cars and, fortunately, there are plenty of excellent Christmas gifts that are ideal for the motoring-mad person in your life.

We’ve collected some of the very best motoring-themed gifts available this Christmas at a variety of price points.

Porsche 911 Spirit 70 Umbrella – £80

Porsche recently celebrated 70 years of its famous 911, a car which has evolved over the years but remained true to its sporting roots. Porsche even created a special edition of the 911 – the Spirit 70 – to mark the occasion.

It has also applied this ‘Spirit 70’ styling to one of its umbrellas, creating a unique way of looking great and staying dry.

Autoglym bodywork bucket bundle – £55.24

For a petrolhead, there’s nothing better than making sure that your pride and joy is looking its best. That’s where some top-notch cleaning products can help and one of the biggest names in the business is Autoglym.

Available via the eBay shop, the bodywork bucket bundle brings together everything you need to get your car sparkling, from a litre of foaming shampoo wash to a custom wheel cleaner and everything in between.

QuadLock Cupholder Phone Mount – from £39.99

QuadLock creates some of the sturdiest phone mounts on the market, allowing you to easily secure your smartphone when you’re driving. Its cupholder phone mount is one of its latest innovations, bringing a secure mount that you can simply lock into place within a car’s cupholders.

You can also get it with an optional wireless charging head which, when connected to your car’s power supply, can keep your phone topped up without the need for wires.

Oakley HSTN Meta – £399

Got someone who loves to capture their motoring adventures? The HSTN Meta glasses from Oakley could be ideal. Incorporating the very latest Meta technology, these glasses use Oakley’s iconic HSTN as a base, but bring a range of connected features as well as a 12 megapixel camera which can capture a wearer’s-eye view, such as when behind the wheel.

Available in a variety of colours, the HSNT Meta glasses have two Bluetooth speakers for hands-free calling and music, while the eight-hour battery life can be boosted to up to 48 hours thanks to the handy charging case.

Yeti Rambler travel mug – £35

Yeti is one of the best in the business when it comes to rugged and reliable drinkware and when you’re in the car, its Rambler is one of the ideal options. Crafted from kitchen-grade stainless steel and nearly impervious to drops and dings, the Rambler is available in a variety of capacities but with a smaller base which can fit within a cupholder.

As with other Yeti products, the Rambler can be specified in a variety of colours and, if you’re feeling extra special this Christmas, you can even have it engraved with a message.

Trans-Africa Land-Rover – 65th anniversary special edition – £35

Want someone to head on an adventure from the comfort of their Christmas Day sofa? The Trans-Africa Land-Rover story follows film production manager Philip Kohler – known for his involvement in movies such as Troy and V for Vendetta – as he travels across Africa and Europe in his 1959 Land Rover Series II.

An epic adventure, the book’s journey is accompanied by more than 300 photographs detailing the trip. It’s issued through Porter Press in a special-edition version which celebrates 65 years since Kohler started his adventure.

Igloo Playmate – £30.99

Looking for a sturdy coolbox for your next adventure? Igloo has got you covered with its Trailmate. With 15 15-litre capacity and a handy push-button opening design, the Playmate is designed for days in the great outdoors, but it’ll prove handy when you’re on the road in the car, too.

It’s compact enough to fit behind the front seats if you need, too, while a durable construction ensures it’ll withstand the rough and tumble of a car adventure.

Lego Shelby Cobra – £159.99

While Lego models are traditionally aimed at a younger audience, the new Shelby Cobra 427 SC is designed for those aged 18 and above, reflecting its complex nature. In fact, it’s made up of 1,241 pieces, combining to make one of the most recognisable cars in motoring.

It gets fully functional doors, bonnet and boot, while the V8 engine is recreated in brick form, too. There’s even a toolbox which can be stored in the boot, and a fire extinguisher between the front seats.
