Make it a bumper Christmas for the car fan in your life with these perfect presents to suit all budgets

JCB Digger Racing

Price: £128

From: buyagift.co.uk/0208 275 5220 Never mind Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, this is where racing gets really dirty.

Hosted at one of Diggerland’s three UK sites, you get to race around a pre-set course against others while completing tasks along the route.

If you can’t enjoy this, then you’d better check your pulse as you might be dead. Motorsport socks Price: £9

From: meandmycar.co.uk/ 01865 883061

It wouldn’t be Christmas without giving your other half at least one pair of socks. If they’re into their historical motor racing, then these racing-inspired toe warmers should do the trick perfectly. We especially love the Gulf and Lotus-coloured pairs.

Retro oil can mugs Price: £10 From: meandmycar.co.uk/01865 883061

Motorists of a certain, ahem, maturity will remember buying engine oil in small cans.

We think these oil-can mugs with their purposely dirty retro designs are an absolute delight.

The old style looks from Shell, STP, Mobil and others are so uncannily accurate that any mechanic wouldn’t look twice at them on a garage shelf. T-Lab Motorsport T-Shirts Price: from £25

From: T-lab.eu/07936 464043

If you like your motorsport then check out T-Lab’s range of specialist T-shirts. Using images or outlines of wellknown circuits or individual corners, they’re a great gift for any motorsport fan. Citroen 2CV model

Price: £65

From: lifestyle.citroen.com/0800 093 9393

For all our love of model supercars, this 1:18 scale mimosa yellow 1978 Citroen 2CV has won our hearts.

Included in a new lifestyle brochure, this 2CV is part of the French firm’s new range celebrating its past and present with plenty of flair. Lovely.
