"An incredibly tough and cool build that beautifully reflects the preserved creativity from the national custom scene of that era."

Description

The builder and the current owner's father purchased the car back in 1976 and embarked on their Amazon project with great enthusiasm and a determined focus. Ideas came and went, were implemented, and new ones flourished. The owner, with the cool first name Weit, preserved and kept his youth project alive throughout the years. An article in the magazine Bilsport from 1984 tells most of the story and serves as an important document of the car's history. The latest approved inspection was carried out on July 7, 2016, and since the car passed inspection when the new regulations came into force on April 20, 2018, it was exempt from inspection on the same day.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Bored-out B18 till two liters, sharper camshaft, ported head, and dual Weber 45s. Among other modifications. Not an entirely uncommon recipe at the time. A powerful engine that prefers a firm and robust handling, rewarding with delightful driving pleasure when treated accordingly.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is a delightful blend of the builder's impressions and influences, as well as ingenious technical ideas. The car features functional power windows and is started with a magnet brought to a point on the transmission tunnel. Instruments from the P1800, heating and ventilation controls from a 140, and door panels with a burlesque boudoir feel.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's exterior bears traces of a creativity that evolved, was fixed, and eventually settled. Unorthodox and cheeky details. Time-typical expressions in color, form, and painting technique. For instance, the fuel tank was moved directly up into the luggage compartment, allowing the car's colorful undercarriage to be showcased in the best possible way.

  • General condition:

    A time marker in fine working condition, a build to cherish in memory of the creator, and furthermore, a car that can easily be driven under its own power to meets and exhibitions.

Facts about the model

The car's history is best summarized by the joy of its builder and the memories of the builder's children. The last time Weit drove his car was with his grandchild for a spin around the block in their hometown of Mariestad. This memory is cherished by the family, and it is one that the new owner will also inherit.

  • 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.
