Airplane Cards

Have you seen our new range of cards by British artist Colin Van Geffen?

They feature classic planes such as the Spitfire and the Red Arrows.

This one is the Red Arrows doing their 'Spaghetti Break' manouvre. A very colourful and impressive display.

The aircraft cards are priced at £1.85 + P&P each, more will be added soon.

New Gift Mug For Men

Stuck for a gift idea for the man in your life. We have a new range of mugs entitled 'A Man's Life', featuring scenes that the stereotypical male loves to do.

So far appearing at The Motoring Gift Company, is a bright red Austin Healey sports car outside the Royal Oak pub. What more could a man want, than a flashy little car and a pint?

Or maybe your man is a cricket enthusiast? A typical scene of English life, is a spot of cricket on the village green. No cricket on the village green where we live though, as ours is covered in trees.

Both are supplied at £3.99 + P&P. We'll be adding more mugs from this collection later in the week.

P.S. We now do gift wrapping

New Teatowel

British and proud of it?

Get yourself one of our new Union Jack flag teatowels. Made from 100% cotton and machine washable and priced at £2.99 each.

Ideal to display in 2012 to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the British Olympics.

Buses & Trucks mug by Leonardo

Other classic bus gifts and greeting cards available.

Remember this motorbike advertising?

Our new greeting card range is inspired by vintage advertising. Today we are higlighting the Triumph Thunderbird and Matchless motorbikes.

A lovely example of this classic Triumph motorbike, with a scenic view in the background of where this bike could take you.

The Matchless bike allows you to go to more adventurous locations, if this advert is to be believed, as the couple appear to be on a touring holiday, with a large mountainous range in the background.

Both cards are supplied with white envelopes and are blank inside for your own message.

Police Car Moneybox

New to The Motoring Gift Company is this funky police car moneybox finished in bright glossy blue and white as you would expect.

Styled to look like a 1960's Ford Anglia, which was actually used as a Panda car, this piggy bank will delight all collectors of police memorobilia and young children alike.

Why not add one of our Ford Anglia greeting cards? We can especially recommend 'On Patrol' featuring an Anglia Police car at a football match.

Scooter Door Mat

To bring a welcoming sight to your home we now offer this scooter design coir door mat. Visitors to your home will love this entrance mat with it's trio of colourful classic scooters in red, green and blue.

Made from the outer husks of coconuts and with a rubber backing, this mat is designed to be durable and eco-friendly.

Also available in this design are mugs and drinks mats

Yellow replica tin car models

We've got some great replica tin models of cars and other classic vehicles. If you have a penchant for yellow we can thoroughly recommend the Delboy- inspired Reliant 3 wheeler van. Looks a bit battered around the edges but such an icon.

The signwriting optimistically states London, Paris, New York, but with the state of this we don't think it would get very far. At least Reliant's are quite lightweight so could be pushed.

A British icon is the classic Mini (our Mini replica carries on the yellow theme). Very battered at the front (part of the design - it isn't damaged), this classic small car has seen better days.

Great collectable pieces, they're individually handcrafted and are remarkably lifelike.

A reminder though - they are not toys, just ornamental replicas.

New Ferguson Tractor Greeting Card

A new arrival is 'Fergie and Friends' by Trevor Mitchell, available as a greeting card.

The 'friends' are a collection of geese and chickens, with a border collie dog and farmer in the background.

The Fergie is, of course, a Ferguson TE20 tractor. A British agricultural work horse once a familiar sight in our fields.

A delightful card, ideal for any occasion, as it is blank inside.

Other tractor-themed greetings card available.

Fiat 500 tin models

New in are these large scale Fiat 500 tin models.

Designed to look rusty and well-used, these handmade models are a great collectors item. These are models of the original 500, which was manufactured between 1957 and 1975.

Complete with loaded roof rack and moveable wheels, they are available in either red or white.

Other tin models are available

IMPORTANT NOTE: ADULT COLLECTORS ITEM ONLY - THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED AS TOYS.

Patriotic Scooter Collectables

Individually hand made, these scooter models will make a great decorative feature in your home. Made from tin, and designed to look rustic and used, these large-scale models feature moving wheels and handlebar and Union Jack decoration. A great patriotic gift idea.

Available in either red or blue

In fact, if they don't sell, we may have to keep them ourselves.

THESE MODELS ARE ORNAMENTAL PIECES ONLY - THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED AS TOYS

Novelty clock

How about a Vespa scooter inspired clock for your home? Made from MDF so it's not too heavy, this well-designed clock would add a spot of colour to your home.

We think it looks very realistic, especially as there are no numbers to detract from the scooter image.

Other scooter gifts available.

The British On Holiday

We couldn't resist this one! A typical British beach scene melamine coaster with the knotted hankie on the head and the donkey helping himself to the man's ice cream. Just right for the warmer weather to get you in the mood for your summer holidays.

ALL THAT'S MISSING IS THE KISS ME QUICK HAT!

Crystal gifts

New to our website this week are some sparkling gift ideas featuring Swarovski crystals:

The silver VW Camper model would make an ideal gift for campervan lovers of all ages. It has a gun-metal finish and is tarnish resistant, so should always look good. Also available in a gold finish.

These delightful crystal ornaments really catch the light and look great on a sunny day.

Car Broken Down

Today we have a choice of car breakdown rescue services, but in the past we had the AA (Automobile Association) or RAC (Royal Automobile Club).

New to our website this week is 'What seems to be the trouble?' a familiar phrase to those who have had to call out a breakdown service. This card features the Morris 8 E car which has been stopped enroute in the mountains and has had to call out an AA patrolman.

The bleakness of the mountains seems to echo the aloneness we all feel when our car has let us down.

From a painting by Malcolm Root

Available now at £1.55 + P&P

Amusing Greeting Cards

Added to our range of Linda Birkinshaw greeting cards today is the Head Gardener,  a great card for your dad, grandad or a keen gardener, The man in the deckchair may be asleep, but there is wine in those demijohns in the shed. Has he sampled the wine?

Ideal for Father's Day as this card is blank inside. Matching coaster available too.

Our Kevin Walsh card promotion is still on.

Narrowboat moneybox

An exciting new addition to our moneybox range is this stunning narrowboat savings bank available in either blue or green.

It's reminiscent of the narrowboats that cruise the canals in the UK, these days for pleasure, but used in the past as homes and a means of transportation.

A good way to save for your own holiday on the water.

New Mini Mug

We've just added some lovely new china mug and coaster sets to our site. Our favourite has to be the burnt orange Mini mug, with it's matching coaster.

I used to have a Mini in this colour when my children were small. Definately, not a family car, but great fun to drive. Would make a lovely Father's day present or just a gift for someone who loves the older style Mini.

May is Kevin Walsh month at The Motoring Gift Company

A great birthday gift for any man. The Aston Martin DB5, as driven by James Bond 007.

Imagine the wind in your hair as you're swiftly whisked away in this graceful automobile to a peaceful riverside, followed by a elegant picnic washed down with champagne. Well we can dream!
