Now, Simon has finished his newest project: bringing back to life the Scania Longline his father built in 1996. “It’s a tribute to my dad and the truck that was the pride of our company“, Simon says.
The project consumed countless hours – seven months filled with, as Simon puts it, “blood, sweat, and tears,” with up to 17 people working on it at once. The result is nothing short of spectacular. The truck, named Lundmans Oldtimer, is finished in black paint with red flakes, topped with 18 layers of clear coat – a total of 376 liters used to create its deep, gleaming finish.


Lighting plays a central role in Simon’s vision. His Oldtimer is equipped with six Olympus Driving Lights, mounted low on the front for a bold, old-school look.
The choice wasn’t just about aesthetics. “Olympus gives a really strong light in the autumn and winter darkness,” he says. “They have a stylish design that fits perfectly with the build – and the light performance is incredible.” Olympus delivers a powerful beam reaching 844 meters at 1 lux and 12 400 lumens in boost mode, ensuring Simon’s truck has both style and outstanding visibility on the road.


Simon has been hands-on with every part of the build. Along the sides and at the rear, BriodLights position lamps stretch the full length of the truck, seamlessly integrated into the design. Where the truck once had gaps, Simon welded everything shut, ensuring the lamps fit perfectly into place.
At the back, the finishing touch comes with twelve Fristom round rear lights with black rings – six on each side. “They’re really something special,” Simon explains. “The black rings tie in perfectly with the rest of the truck’s look.”
The Scania Longline has already covered 2 680 000 km kilometers in its lifetime, but this rebuild isn’t just about keeping it on the road – it’s about preserving a legacy.
