Vintage Tyres gears up for half-century celebrations

This year Vintage Tyres itself reaches a healthily vintage age – during 2012 the Beaulieu-based company, which claims to be the first firm in the world to set up as a dedicated supplier of older and specialist vehicles, celebrates 50 years in the business. To mark its half-century, Vintage Tyres will run a number of events throughout the year, including May’s Vintage Tyres New Forest Classic Car Run, and the company says customers can also take advantage of special offers during this anniversary year.

One thing about Vintage Tyres that doesn’t hark back to a bygone age is its website – this was redesigned and launched in January and says the new site is simple to use and contains useful information on classic and vintage tyres for cars and motorcycles. Tyres can also be searched by vehicle, size or brand.
