Motul has confirmed it rekindled relationship as Lubricants partner of Beaulieu, the home of the National Motor Museum.
Motul will support the museum’s collection of almost 300 vehicles, supplying lubricants and related fluids.
Motul UK’s Andy Wait said: “Beaulieu has an incredible variety of vehicles, road cars, competition vehicles – including Land Speed Record machines, motorcycles, vans and commercial vehicles, stretching back from the very earliest days of motorised transport, right through to the current day.
“It is testimony to the breadth and depth of Motul’s product range that we are able to cater for so many of the wide range of vehicles they have on site – and we relish the prospect of developing our relationship with Beaulieu.”
Motul has long been at the forefront of lubrication innovation in the automotive industry, having been responsible for the first Multigrade engine oil – Motul Century, the first Semi-Synthetic and first fully Synthetic Motor Oils – Motul Century 2100 and Motul 300V, respectively.
It has a history of producing lubricants that pre-dates the arrival of the motor car by more than 30 years, so it is fitting that Motul products will now be showcased through their use on a variety of vehicles that span the entire history of the motor vehicle.
Beaulieu averages more than a third of a million visitors a year and boasts not only the National Motor Museum itself but also various other related displays such as the James Bond “Bond in Motion – No Time To Die” and some of the iconic Top Gear vehicles.
Motul is also installing its recently-launched BioClean parts washing system into the Beaulieu workshop.
The system does away with the harmful solvents usually used to clean dirty automotive parts and replaces them with an all-in-one efficient, environmentally friendly parts cleaning system that consists of a wash stand and a water-based cleaning fluid that gets its cleaning power from natural bio-microorganisms.
BioClean retains its level of performance over a much longer period of time than a standard cold-water parts cleaning system and will help Beaulieu move forward sustainably.
Beaulieu’s chief engineer, Doug Hill said: “Motul has consistently been at the cutting edge of lubricant and automotive technology, and has a history second-to-none – but it is always looking to the future.
“This is very important for us, and we look forward to moving forward with them as partners, and making full use of what they have to offer.”
