Beschreibung

This 1957 Opel Caravan boasts a well-documented history from new. Originally sold by Bilkompaniet in Lund to Erik Granelli in Svedala, he was dissatisfied with the factory blue shade and promptly had it repainted in a darker variant. In 1963, Hilda Olsson of Lövestad became the second owner. She meticulously cared for the car, always keeping it garaged and ensuring all servicing was handled by Kjells Bil and Traktor in Lövestad.

After she stopped driving in the early 1980s, the car was purchased by a new owner who stored it decommissioned in a heated workshop for approximately 40 years. In 2022, the current third owner carefully revived it, performing a startup service, inspection, and polishing the paintwork. A minor rust spot on the floor under the rear seat was professionally welded. Most recently, the current owner completed a full mechanical review, ensuring the car is in top usable condition.

With its well-preserved state and known ownership history, this Opel Caravan presents a rare opportunity for an enthusiast seeking an unrestored yet well-kept classic.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    Easy to start, the car requires a few minutes to warm up properly, like most classic vehicles. It runs and drives well, with a smooth engine, gearbox, and brakes. Recent work includes cleaning the fuel system and petrol tank, reviewing the carburetor, and servicing the electrics with new spark plugs. The brakes have also been inspected and serviced. Now in great running condition, this Opel Caravan is ready for its next owner to enjoy. It is inspection-exempt forever and sits on good wheels and tires.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Interior remains in beautifully patinated original condition. The original rubber mats are dry and prone to cracking, with a small hole in the rear mat behind the driver’s seat. The seats, door cards, and headliner are all in good condition, with only a worn handle on the driver’s side showing signs of use.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Bodywork is straight and solid, with some surface rust spots around the lower doors and rear wing edges, mainly from older stone chips. The car was repainted in 1957, and the paint has held up well with only minor signs of wear. The chrome work remains bright, though there is some oxidation in places, along with a small dent on the right corner of the bumper and some side trim. These details contribute to the car’s original patina and authentic feel.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    A super charming and rare 1950s Caravan model, this Opel embodies the era’s American-inspired design influences. Its distinctive styling makes it an ideal promotional car for a local company or a unique classic to enjoy. Ready for its next owner, this well-preserved classic is full of character and history.

Auktionsinfo

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
