ABSTRACT
The article discusses issues related to the behavior of powertrains understood as monuments of engineering art. The theoretical part analyzed the most important issues related to the maintenance and renovation of vehicles, their share in Poland in the age category, as well as the regulations regarding the classification of historic vehicles. The next part of the article presents the renovation process of two powertrain – the K–750 motorcycle and the Volkswagen Type 117 passenger car, along with a short history of their production.
