{"product_id":"zodiac-mk2-plug-grille-t-shirt","title":"Zodiac Mk2 Plug Grille T-Shirt - Dean's Classic Cars","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of the Toolforged line, from Dean's Classic Cars.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every car in this line is built from the tools that kept it running (spanners, sockets, cogs, plugs and pressed steel), arranged until the shape of the car appears out of them. No badges, no wordmarks, no logos on the car itself: just the machine, drawn in the language of the workshop floor. If you have ever had the bonnet up on a cold morning with your knuckles bleeding and the radio on, this line was made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRight car. Wrong materials. Entirely on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silhouette, the stance and the year are true to the car. Everything filling them in is workshop steel that has no business being there. A socket where the grille sits. Spanners laid across a roof. A calliper behind a wheel it was never bolted to. Go looking for a part in the wrong place and you will find one, and that is the whole point: this is the car as the tools that kept it running would draw it, not a photograph of it. Zoom in. That is where the fun is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 1958 Zodiac Mk2 saloon, forged from the tools that kept it alive, on 180gsm organic cotton.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront three-quarter, bonnet shut, sat inside a thin concentric ring with Dean's signature across the top. Look once and it is a Mk2 Zodiac: the full-width grille, the headlamps set into the wings, the wraparound screen and that long flat bonnet. Look again and the grille bars are a rank of spark plugs, the bonnet is laid with spanners, and a plain steel bolt sits where a badge would be. The plate reads ZODIAC 58, black with silver characters, as it should on a car of that year. A torque wrench lies across the bottom like an underline, engraved 1958 ZODIAC MK2. The Zodiac was the plush end of the Mk2 family: the same 2.6 litre straight-six as the Zephyr, with two-tone paint and extra brightwork to show for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuilt from the tools that built it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDean's Classic Cars is one man's obsession, made wearable. Dean has spent his life around British cars from the era when you could still fix one on your own driveway, and every design in the collection starts from a real car, checked against the real specification, before a single tool is drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters, because the people who buy these know. They know how many wiper arms a Series 1 E-Type carried. They know a Mexico ran a pushrod Kent, not a twin cam. So nothing here is decorative guesswork. Get the car right and the artwork earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e t-shirt on a Stanley\/Stella Creator 2.0, 100% organic cotton, 180 g\/m² single jersey.

Spark plugs form the grille, spanners the bonnet, pressed steel the flanks, drawn in bright metal against the dark cotton so the shape reads clean from across a room. The car carries no maker's badge anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Dean's Classic Cars","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57451659493702,"sku":"7275149_11869","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57451659526470,"sku":"7275149_11870","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57451659559238,"sku":"7275149_11871","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57451659592006,"sku":"7275149_11872","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":57451659624774,"sku":"7275149_11873","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57451659657542,"sku":"7275149_17229","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57451659690310,"sku":"7275149_17233","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57451659723078,"sku":"7275149_17236","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6583\/7382\/files\/unisex-organic-cotton-creator-2.0-t-shirt-black-front-6ab54af6db2c8.jpg?v=1790266119","url":"https:\/\/ricki-robin.store\/products\/zodiac-mk2-plug-grille-t-shirt","provider":"Ricki Robin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
