\"\"<\/a>Classic cars and kitcars are easier to steal than mainstream ones. There is such a worldwide market\u00a0for parts, that they are also easier for thieves to dispose of and most parts are\u00a0virtually untraceable.<\/p>\n

We can make it more difficult for thieves. Complex security alarms are not suitable.<\/p>\n

The nature and use patterns of classic\u00a0and kit\u00a0cars make them problematic, with flat batteries\u00a0and then starting problems.<\/p>\n

If we discount those, then we are left with the two most\u00a0important features: deterrents and immobilisation. This simple and easy-to-install\u00a0system consists of a high-quality, two-pole, miniature security switch. It closes one\u00a0circuit while opening the other. This means that it can open-circuit an ignition system\u00a0or fuel pump live, or starter circuit while switching on a deterrent LED.<\/p>\n

The bright red\u00a0flashing LED is highly visible but draws so little current that it would take several\u00a0months to affect a healthy car battery. The switch is small enough to be hidden away.<\/p>\n

Fitting non-standard equipment to older cars is always\u00a0problematic, as a lack of\u00a0thought will result in a spoiling\u00a0of the original character, so we give you a couple of<\/p>\n

choices for the deterrent aspect. For maximum visibility,\u00a0you can choose the window-mounted module, which\u00a0flashes a streak of bright red across the windscreen when mounted in a corner, and is hardly noticeable when off.<\/p>\n

Or, you can select the subtle period-style lens with the\u00a0flashing red LED pushed in from the back.\u00a0When this is fitted into a dash\u00a0or console, it blends in\u00a0and looks original.<\/p>\n

This simple and highly effective upgrade costs just \u00a372 inc VAT and comes with a<\/p>\n

money-back guarantee and full instructions.<\/p>\n
