Christmas is just a fortnight away now, so if you’re still wondering what to get the auto enthusiast in your life – or even just treat yourself – we reckon these suggestions will do very nicely indeed!
Volkswagen GTI Balance Bike – £80
The GTI moniker is one of the best known in the business, having been applied to some of the most iconic hot hatches of all time.
Now you’ll find it on a speedy mode of transportation for younger GTI fans on a new Volkswagen-made balance bike.
It’s kitted out with a snazzy red seat and GTI logos, too.
Ducati Pro III e-scooter – POA
Ducati is going full throttle into the urban mobility segment, having created a wide range of e-scooters and e-bikes.
The Pro III is the latest addition to the fleet and it’s capable of travelling for just over 30 miles on a single charge.
It’s available from Ducati dealerships, too. Just remember that e-scooters can currently only be used on private land and can’t be used on the public road or pavements.
Autocar digital archive – £7.99 per month or £74.99 annually
Autocar – one of the UK’s most popular car enthusiast magazines – has been on sale for just over 125 years, publishing more than 6,000 issues.
Covering car reviews and news, it has just released a fully digitised archive, giving users access to all of its back catalogue.
Having taken more than six months to complete, the new service covers every issue – with road tests spanning the launch of the Ford Model T to the very latest models.
