You can treat your car-loving dad to a thoughtful Father’s Day gift this 20 June.
Below, we’ve curated gift ideas to make the day a bit more special.
If you’re the dad, you can also use this list to drop some hints.
Ferrari Cross
The one thing more satisfying than a smooth ride is smooth writing.
Cross, a maker of fine pens, has partnered with Ferrari on a range of pens inspired by the top-down view of Ferrari Formula 1 cars.
They are dressed in a number of authentic Ferrari colours and finishes, including red, yellow, and honeycomb patterned.
Price: From R1,750
Mustang Fragrances
No it’s not the smell of leather and tyre smoke, but you can give your dad a fragrance inspired by one of the iconic motoring brands.
There are fragrances for Bentley and Ferrari, too, if you need.
Price: From R596
Land Rover Experience
The new Land Rover Defender 110 is awesome, and you can have fun putting it through its paces on a dedicated off-road course.
Based in Lonehill, Johannesburg the Land Rover Experience is offering a Father’s Day special for R1,500.
It includes a R500 grooming voucher from Medellin Gentlemen Groomers, too, and there’s a restaurant at the driving facility to round of the day.
Price: R1,500
Supercar Driving Experience
If your dad is not into off-roading, he may enjoy a day out on the racetrack in a supercar.
Choose from the “Standard” fleet – which includes a Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 Carrera S, or Supercharged Ariel Atom – or opt for the Premium package which includes the choice of a Ferrari 458 Spyder or Lamborghini Gallardo 560-4 Bicolore.
The supercar driving experience can be booked in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
