  • Richbrook Car Torch. What A Bright Idea!

    Richbrook’s latest automotive innovation is one of those true ‘why did nobody think of this before’ moments; A super bright rechargeable torch that fits inside any standard 12 volt power socket (that’s a cigarette lighter to you and me).

    Beautifully made in HE15 aluminium, with CNC machined details, three versions are available. A black anodised Richbrook version – or officially licensed Ford and Vauxhall versions in blue and silver respectively. Each design uses a durable, yet highly powerful LED lamp to provide 2 hours of clear illumination with a simple twist of the torch body. It’s the perfect accessory for caravans, motorhomes, vans, boats or any vehicle that runs a 12 volt supply.

    Even if the car torch is fully discharged, simply clip back into the lighter socket to quickly recharge from flat in just 6 hours. The inbuilt charge indicator lets you know all is well. If left fully charged, the torch can last for several months before needing to be topped up, thanks to its inbuilt Ni-MH battery pack.

    Best of all, the water-resistant body means that if you’re out trying to fix a puncture at night, in a downpour (which let’s face it, is when it’s going to happen), this powerful little blighter will keep on shining.

    The Richbrook car torch is priced at £9.95 and is available from all illuminated accessory shops.

  • Motorsport Cameras

    If you are involved in the Motorsport world then you have more than likely seen cars with cameras attached to them by now. The world has been going mad about videos for years but more recently it seems to becoming more and more popular within the Motorsport industries.


    Many race teams are now using on-board motorsport cameras to capture footage from inside and out side of the vehicle. Using sturdy bullet camera systems which can be mounted on spoilers, roll cages and body panels teams are capturing some of the best footage that even the TV cameras miss.

    In addition to the fun side of things these cameras can also be used for training and safety, lets say you had a small bullet camera mounted on your dashboard and were to have someone pull out on you. There is your evidence if the person who pulled out on you decided that they did not want to take the blame, you have everything you need on video.

    Two very useful uses for a motorsport camera, not to mention many more….

  • Richbrook ‘Slant’ Gearknob Range.

    It’s not unusual for style maestros Richbrook to mix form and function, but their latest design really raises the bar in terms of fit, finish and feel. The ‘Slant’, as its name suggests, uses an attractive offset top section to give a unique ergonomic grip for easy shifting.

    Two finishes are available to suit every type of interior ambience. Choose from the classic feel of lacquered hardwood for retro, classic or executive cars – or the sporting luxury of the finest Italian leather for sports or luxury motors.

    Both designs fit practically any car (except for collared ‘lift for reverse’ type) and fit simply in seconds to create a true OEM quality upgrade. Better still, Richbrook also offer a wide range of gear gaiters and collars to really make the installation look ‘factory fresh’.

    Both are priced at just £28.95 and come with a wide range of both 5 and 6 speed shift patterns for the ultimate finishing touch. Why not try a new slant on changing gear?
