"The body and base plate are in excellent condition and have never been rusted or welded. Since new, the interior has remained untouched and original."

Description

From 1957 to 1976, the car was owned by a Sandviken resident. He loved his car, but he didn't like how the original paint had faded after ten years and how the turn signals were difficult to see. As a result of a repainting in 1970, lamps from the 1960s were fitted with orange turn signals on both the front and rear. This was a recommendation from Bilprovningen, and it was something that Volkswagen workshops did on many 1950s cars at the time. At the same time, the car took on a more modern appearance, which pleased the owner at the time. In today's world, the inverse is true. The old taillights have been saved and are included with the vehicle. The car's first owner drove it until 1976, when he had to park it due to health issues. The car was kept in a nice condition, with almost new paint and lights, until 2020, when it had to be sold to a local caravan dealer. It was thus stored for 45 years and looked as good as it did in the photographs. It started easily and sounds good after cleaning the tank and performing a general service.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The fuel system has been cleaned and the car has been serviced. A new battery was installed, as well as new tires. It has been thoroughly tested and performs admirably in the engine, shifting smoothly. It gives off an original feeling of low mileage right away. The exhaust system needs to be overhauled, replaced, or repaired, and the brakes need to be serviced (leakage in the master brake cylinder).

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is exceptional, which is likely due to the fact that the car was only used for short trips for the first 18 years before being stored until 2020.

  • Exterior condition:

    The body is in good condition, with no rust or repairs. The wings have a little chafing and paint touch ups ( see pictures). An earlier repainting from the early 1970s, done in the original color and done well.

  • General condition:

    We estimate that the meter reading of 52,000 km is correct. It feels fresh, and the decor would have looked different if it had driven for a longer. Genuine overall impression and a vehicle to simply enjoy as is. You might be able to refit the smaller taillights, but the ones that are sitting are an important part of the story in several ways. It's all a matter of taste, really.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time.

  • 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.
