The 10 best gifts for car enthusiasts on Father's Day

The ten best gifts for car enthusiasts on Father’s Day are designed for all those dads who want that extra dose of ‘petrol’ in their everyday lives.

Father’s Day is coming up on 19 March, and Father’s Day is one of those days when you should give a little something, because “there’s only one dad, and he deserves the best”. It’s always good to show affection with a gift, and even more so if he’s a car enthusiast. In that case, you can always choose one of the ten best gifts for car enthusiasts on Father’s Day.

Dads who feel that passion for the motoring world deserve to be well rewarded. Let’s not forget that many of these fathers are the reason their children fell in love with petrol, speed and certain classic cars.

Car manufacturers know this, and year after year they prepare a selection of the best gifts for dads who are fans of the motoring world. There are gifts for every kind of dad: for those who love the rush of adrenaline, for those who adore coffee, and so on.

Pack Allure Peugeot 3008

The first of the gifts on the list of the ten best gifts for Father’s Day isn’t just one item but several. It’s an exclusive collection from the lion brand, inspired by the Peugeot 3008. The pack consists of a USB-shaped key, a pen, a notebook, a thermos and a Bluetooth speaker. It costs 84.90 euros.

Espresso machine Volkswagen

From the German brand, they wanted Father’s Day to be a special occasion, and so they thought of those dads who spend days, weeks and even months away from home travelling, and they suggest as a gift a coffee espresso machine for the car. It runs off a 12V socket and is capable of making a creamy espresso anywhere.

The gift pack includes the coffee maker, two unbreakable cups, 25 coffee capsules and a cloth. It costs 235 euros.

Coffees inspired by the motoring world

Drive Coffe offers coffee inspired by the motoring world. You’d never have imagined giving coffee as a gift, but this one is very special. Its packaging pays tribute to the legendary oil cans.

Five types of coffee are on offer: Imola, inspired by the legendary Italian circuit famous for its high-speed straights and curves. Its flavour recalls dark cherry and cocoa. Dakar comes from the famous cars of ‘Group B’, and its flavour recalls coffees of Peruvian origin. Trophy is inspired by the Camel Trophy rallies, since it is made from Sumatra and Sulawesi beans, places where rallies were held between 1981 and 1988. Targa has a fruity central flavour and is made in remembrance of the Targa Florio, the oldest sports car event in the world.

Finally, there is Le Mans, a coffee inspired by the Ford GT40 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is available in almond, caramel and chocolate.

Watches inspired by legendary models

Wristwatches couldn’t be missing from the list of the best car gifts for Father’s Day, and Dialed has just presented a collection inspired by some of the most iconic models of BMW. These are the BMW 3 Series E30, the BMW 3 Series E36 and the BMW 3 Series E46. They cost around 160 euros depending on the model.

If classic models aren’t his thing, you can always choose one of the straps the brand has prepared. They are much cheaper and can be fitted to any smartwatch.

His car in 1:18 scale

The idea of giving a 1:18 scale model of his car can be fantastic. You can base it on the car he owns now, his first car, or that model he has dreamed about for so long. AutoArt has plenty of models available, and the price will depend on the type of car you choose.

Gulf trainers

Grand Prix Originals has developed a collection inspired by Gulf. Although trainers are one of the most-used accessories day to day, there are many other ideas you could consider: shirts, T-shirts, jackets, belts, wallets, backpacks and even suitcases.

The price of these Gulf trainers is 179 euros.

Socks for car lunatics

Heel Tread is a Portuguese company that is winning over the hearts of all those who are passionate about the motoring world, especially classics. On its website you can browse a catalogue of socks inspired by some of the most iconic models in automotive history. Examples include the Peugeot 205 T16, the BMW M3 E36 CLS, the Corvette Stingray, the Jaguar E-Type, the Lancia Stratos and the Subaru Impreza.

Bugatti Lego Chiron

If what he likes is building his own car but he doesn’t have the time, money or space to restore a full-size car, he can always devote his time to building blocks. The Bugatti Lego Chiron is 1:8 scale and misses no detail. It includes the active rear spoiler, the low-profile wheels and the W16 engine with moving pistons and camshafts in the steering wheel.

It measures 14 cm high, 56 long and 32 wide. The set includes 3,599 blocks and costs 420 euros.

Bookends Porsche

If he loves reading, Porsche offers a very special bookend. It is made from an original brake disc of a Porsche 911 Carrera and is mounted on a black steel bracket. It costs 178 euros.

Formula 1 Grand Prix

Attending a Formula 1 Grand Prix is something every motoring enthusiast should do at least once in their life. The Spanish Grand Prix, held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, takes place on the weekend of 12 May, and giving tickets to a Formula 1 race as a Father’s Day gift could make for the perfect plan for that weekend.
