Zero breakdowns at Oily Rag Run

While fully restored cars have their place – and sometimes a full restoration is the only way to keep a car on the road – we have a real love for original, unrestored and, yes, slightly scruffy prewar cars. 

Our friends at The Automobile magazine take their enthusiasm for 'Oily Rag' motoring to another level, however. As well as running a large fleet of unrestored cars themselves, every year they tempt a varied selection of cherished (but not shiny) cars out of the woodwork for a relaxed road tour on their Oily Rag Run.

This year, the motley convoy headed to North Yorkshire, taking in the private collection of Daniel and Toby Ward and suffering an incredible zero breakdowns en route. For more pictures of this unique event celebrating the scruffier side of prewar motoring, visit their website or, better still, buy a copy of the magazine.

I applaud the preservation of originality, but there can a fine line between 'well-cared for' and 'neglected'. Sadly many so-called oily-rag cars come into the latter category and would benefit from a little care and attention!

Does this mean that on NO ACCOUNT can they be washed and polished, and made shiny ? ?
I think that the Oily Rag Fraternity, would agree that it is only the normal wear and tear, plus a few dings, that makes their cars, different from the Over polished , Over restored, Over there cars !
