BURY ST EDMUNDS, England, November 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Car Masutra, the brand for the 'man who loves his car', has launched the first of its male toiletries range.

The three products, one from each of the Custom, Classic and Sports Car Masutra ranges, are 'Flash Git' bath foam, 'Petrol Head' 2 in 1 shampoo and 'Body Work' shower gel. The products have been produced and packaged for the gift market and are available either as a tri-product gift pack or individually. The products are made in England, with high quality ingredients, have eco-friendly packaging and the contents have not been tested on animals (other than on man!).

Mary Bird, the bird behind the brand, is an original thinker with a vibrant lifestyle and stories to match! The daughter of a Suffolk rector, she spent her twenties in London working in the fashion and music businesses, before returning to live in rural Suffolk in 1984.

'Writing ditties, be they spoken or sung is just my way of life' says Mary; 'and the illustrations come when the words run out! The original Car Masutra book was my way of expressing frustration and feelings for a very great friend who loved his car - to distraction. The result was the Car Masutra: 'the essential guide to the ultimate act of love'. What began as a bit of fun ended up on Amazon's best seller list and on the shelves of Waterstone's - all by accident, really!'
