Wood-rim steering wheels for Splitscreens, Bays and Bugs with a 35mm spacer!

The flat wood-rim steering wheel can fit a little too close to the indicator arms on later vehicles.  Thats why we have produced a 35mm spacer.  Nice and shiny (naturally) and made from heat treated billet aluminum.

All available as a kit or individually on the resto-cal page on the main site...

FSD and The Friary School Arts and Sports College...

Evenin'.....now, you may be aware of our clothing ranges, FiftySixDelux and Lowdown Lifestyle.

Over the last few weeks we set a bit of a challenge to the pupils of The Friary Arts and Sports College.  We asked them to come up with a tshirt design that was both retro and had '56' incorporated into the final image.

First prize was to have their design made into a t shirt and for that item to go on sale on the website.  We will also be advertising the shirt in Ultra VW and selling the shirt through our retailers.

We have been looking at the designs over the Easter break and there are now 5 left from which to select a winner!

We will be adding all of the designs (there were loads!) to the blog over the next few days... including the winner!
