Storing your car for long periods? Look after the battery!
Article written by Bush TyresWhen storing a car for long periods of time it’s not just the bodywork or tyres that require looking after.
Be it a classic car or a performance car, the battery should be kept in good condition allowing the car to be ready for when you need to use it.
Correct battery maintenance also prolongs the life of the battery as if left stood for long periods of time, without any attention, significantly reduces its life, even when disconnected from the car.

Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
