For more than 120 years, British company Castrol has been at the forefront of oil technology. Company founder Charles Wakefield launched his first vehicle engine oil in 1906, a pioneering blend of mineral and castor oils that offered unrivalled lubrication properties. Since then, and through many further innovations, Castrol oils have lubricated the beating heart of everything from speed records to Mars missions.

Interestingly, Castrol was the first company of its kind to promote its products through sponsorship, which swiftly led to advertising and merchandising. By 1946, when the iconic Castrol Classic branding was launched, Castrol offered a wide range of workshop regalia in the distinctive green, white and red colours that had been synonymous with the brand since the early 1900s.

Inspired by those products, Castrol Classic Oils has produced a range of high-quality retro merchandise, all bearing that familiar post-war branding.

The latest addition is this Classic Drinks Coaster, which will help to avoid the unwanted patina of coffee ring stains on wooden furniture. Each handy disc measures 100mm across and is finished in hard-wearing, wipe-clean melamine with a cork backing. A perfect pairing with our Classic Tin and China Mugs, the coasters can be bought individually or in a set of four.
