Which Oil? - Choosing the Right Oils & Greases for Your Antique, Vintage, Veteran, Classic or Collector Car

If you own a classic car, you face the problem of choosing the appropriate lubricants to use in its engine, gear box, final drive and chassis. The original owner's handbook, if you have one, is probably of limited use. The lubricants that it lists are probably no longer available, or not of the original performance or specification level.

Even if you have some good information, you still have problems: are modern oils suitable? If yes, which ones? (Even within a single brand there may be five or six different oils sold for apparently the same purpose.) If no, then why not? What characteristics are unsuitable, and where do you turn to obtain an appropriate oil?

This book gives all owners the information that will allow them to understand the lubrication needs of their cars, and to relate those needs to modern lubricants.
You will be able to make correct and safe choices, or to seek out appropriate specialised lubricants if necessary, using step-by-step instructions. Answers are also given to many of the most commonly-asked questions about suitable oils for classic cars.

Kutschenlack, Asphaltschwarz & Nitroglanz - Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 und 1945

When reconditioning technical components or the interior, examining the materials originally used is now a matter of course and is sufficiently documented in the literature. However, there has been a huge gap on the subject of vehicle paints.

This book reproduces the doctoral thesis "Geschichte, Werkstoffe and Techniken der Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 and 1945", with which the graduate restorer Dr. Gundula Tutt not only wrote the most comprehensive reference work on vehicle paintwork in the pre-war period, but also laid the foundation for her career as the most knowledgeable paint expert and one of the best-known classic car restorers.

This book is a must for anyone who is involved in the restoration of historic vehicles: In a language that is understandable even for laypeople, it provides over 380 pages of practical assistance for the preservation and restoration of historic vehicles and provides deep insights into an area of classic car restoration that, despite its obvious role, has so far received little attention.
