Black Gold in the house!


For proper Old Speed and the absolute correct look, there is absolutely only one choice for tyres - black gold!


Dunlop Racing tyres give high value for high money, both in looks and performance. This recently arrived set is going on to a friends' Zwitter race car.... We will be testing them out on a couple of our ongoing projects as they pass through our hands. We are in love!

New oldspeed project in the Screwdrivers' garage..


Screwdrivers' has secured a real rarity for this season... The "HPD Special" was handbuilt in Sweden back in 1958 and has gone through an extensive 2500-hour restoration job. The builder had an amazing combination of skills, donor-parts and a surprisingly good eye for design. Based on a shortened Beetle chassis from 1949, the the car is very much inspired by the notorious Porsche 356 Carrera GTL Abarth. It is presently going through a little update and getting ready for SCC 2010...and eventually the BC2011 Oldspeed Challenge. Stay tuned for more.

Spring cleaning...






The Screwdriver-barn is "too full"...so something has gotta go. 1938 Steyr Type 55 restoration project FOR SALE.

The Steyr Type 55 is in many ways the granfather of the Beetle. The project was initiated by Ferdinand Porsche when he worked for Steyr 1929-1931, and the car came out in 1934. Unbelievable "stromlinie"-design, yet a project not for the faint-hearted.

You never forget your first love...


#5 just bought back his first car... He first bought it when he was 17 years old, cal-looked it as much as his wallet could afford and sold it after some years to finance new projects. It basically slept in a garae since then and half a year ago he bought it back. He is "refreshening it" as-is and completing it to become the car he always wanted it to be. Perfect 80ies Cal Looker - one for the road this summer. Way to go JHU!
