"After spending several years in a museum, the car has undergone a startup service, including a review of the brakes, and is now operational. It performs well in terms of engine, transmission, and braking, and all electrical components, including the roof, are functioning. However, it will require a comprehensive service and a minor review before it's ready for its new inspection."

Description

This Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was originally sold by Roman Charlot dealer in Ohio in 1984, imported to and registered in Sweden in 2000, where it was owned by a trucking company in Jönköping before being added to a collection four months later. The last inspection was in 2013, and given its condition and the odometer reading of 53,522 miles, which aligns with the state of the interior, the mileage seems plausible, though unverified. Equipped with a V8 4.1-liter engine that runs smoothly, this Cadillac embodies the quintessential 80's cruising experience and is suitable for some summer fun.

The car comes from the Sandahl collections, which Bilweb Auctions AB will sell in the early spring under four different themes; first out are some of the family's popular workhorses, mainly Mercedes, Volkswagen, and a joker, then half a dozen exclusive fine Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, followed by a selection of early Ford cars and a Chevrolet from the childhood and youth of motoring. The last will be 7 USA cars, of which 5 are representative full-size USA cars from GM's 1959 models, the year when the fins were at their largest. Sandahls is today one of Sweden's largest family-owned transport conglomerates. The company was founded in Värnamo in 1949. Older generations have in their private museum for many years collected about 40 cars under various themes. Bilweb Auctions AB has now been tasked with selling these over four rounds in February, March, and April this year.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car is operational but requires a comprehensive service and inspection, although no significant problems have been identified. The brake warning lights activate during driving, yet the brakes remain functional. The engine bay is clean, but the bonnet struts are due for replacement. It features appealing wheels with older tires that are still in good condition. Additionally, extra indicators have been installed on the rear bumper.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is a great condition, showing no visible damages and featuring attractive red leather seats that complement the well-maintained carpets and door cards. The electric windows, mirrors, and roof are all fully operational. Additionally, the digital displays on the dashboard, including the air conditioning, function properly. The heat control buttons require multiple presses to operate effectively and may need further examination. Overall, the car offers a pleasant and extremely comfortable driving experience.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork of the car is in great condition, with no damage or rust on the body panels, and features a clean and tidy underbody. However, the plastic around the bumper edges has become brittle and broken, a common issue with these cars, as shown in the pictures. The chrome detailing is good and bright, and the rubber elements around the car are in good shape. While the roof is intact, there are a few small holes in the side panels, as detailed in the pictures. The headliner inside is complete and good.

  • General condition:

    If you're in search of a fun and unique car that comfortably accommodates four adults, this car provides immense pleasure and comfort at a very attractive price. Given its excellent condition, it promises many years of reliable and trouble-free driving ahead.

Auction information

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.
