ANG'S PETROL-HEAD PASSION DOESN'T STOP WITH CLASSIC CARS – HE'S ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR QUIRKY, HARD-TO-FIND ACCESSORIES

1- RAIN CHEK

I think vent windows are a brilliant automotive design feature that should be brought back. The Rain Chek was a metal channel that mounted at the base of your vent window that restricted water from dripping inside your cabin when you had your vent windows open and it was raining. This listing was for an entire counter display. Sold $290 ebay.to/3p71qsR

2- TOYOTA RESCUEMAN III

Remember the emergency glass breaking escape hammer mounted in most buses that the naughty kid always wanted to use? Well who would have thought that they were offered as a door mounted accessory for your Toyota! The opposite end featured a cutting blade to also cut your seatbelt in the event of an emergency. A cool feature for a rally car or wannabe boy racer.

3- VW BEE CATCHER

The "Ila Frischluftregler" is a clear acrylic tube that mounts on the RHS window of your pre '64 Beetle which directs air into your cabin as you drive and is even handy on a rainy day when you can't roll down your windows. Ila Frischluftregler supposably translates to fresh air regulator and is also reproduced in funky colours as pictured. Just watch out for those bees. Buy it now $58 plus shipping ebay.to/393r8c7

4- DUNLOP SP SPORT TYRE 15"

So you have restored the Falcon of your dreams its painted, trimmed and sorted mechanically. So what comes next? The details like including the OEM spec spare tyre such as this NOS Dunlop SP Sport, to suit a XC Cobra or XB GT. This beauty even comes with a reproduction Bathurst Globe alloy and is ready to go. Shame it won't ever kiss the road. Buy it now $2500 plus shipping bit.ly/3o2EDx1
