Leading lubricant brand, Motul is to become lubricant partner of Paddock Speedshop, a new TV programme aimed at next generation vehicle restoration. 

Already official lubricant partner of the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show on Discovery+, Motul will now work with Paddock Speedshop, which aims to put a fresh view on car restoration as it seeks to attract younger enthusiasts into the world of classic cars and how to return them to full working order. 

Andy Wait, Head of UK Motul PCMO sales said, “This is a truly exciting new development for Motul. Paddock Speedshop is fresh and hugely relevant for our growth in the classic vehicle market. As people will have seen over the last few years, the Classic sector is really important to us. Our range of products targeted at older vehicles has greatly expanded and our partnership with the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs - together with its associated partnerships - as well as the launch and development of our Club Motul concept, emphasise our commitment to this sector. Now, our close involvement with Paddock Speedshop adds another key string to the Motul bow.”

Motul is supplying lubricants, coolants, greases and associated products for the show, together with technical support and assistance to ensure the optimum results for all of the restored vehicles as they make their way back onto the roads and race tracks. Motul is also providing one of its new, BioClean sustainable, solvent-free workshop cleaning systems to the Paddock Speedshop workshop, which ties in well with the overall ethos of the show.  

Paddock Speedshop centres around a small group of twenty somethings, who bring a number of different vehicles back to full working order over the course of each series. The programme is not only aiming at a new generation of potential restorers but is also seeking to give a modern-day interpretation of what a restored classic can offer. 

The show’s leading restorers are two 23-year-olds, Lucy Busby and Ethan Blake-Jones, who will be maintaining and restoring a varied selection of Classics and Youngtimers,  both for everyday road use and also for competition. Resto-mod is often going to be the order of the day, but there is no hard and fast policy as each car will be assessed on its own merits, so many may well be straight restorations. 

Paddock Speedshop is set to air later in the year.
