"It runs and drives beautifully, and it has that classic old VW feel and smell."

Description

It was sold new in Sweden in 1955 and has only had four farm owners, the last two of whom are likely to be considered owners rather than users. Beautiful inside and exterior, and the base plate underneath appears to be like new. The owner, who was mentioned in 1966, was a conscientious VW mechanic who took exceptional care of the car at the time, resulting in the current condition. And the caring preservation remained throughout the duration of ownership. Extensive documentation, including very early inspection and workshop records, as well as old tax receipts. Also included is an especially beautiful two-line registration plate with the tax receipt from 1986.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    According to information, the engine is original, and based on the documentation, the mileage is likely to be correct, slightly over 60,000 kilometers. Mechanically, it feels the same; the sound, and feel of the engine and gearbox gives a tight feeling.

  • Interior condition

    Completely, clean and tidy everywhere, even when lifting the carpets. A coveted and exclusive so-called banjo steering wheel adorns the driver's seat and enhances the impression inside.

  • Exterior condition

    It was repainted, most likely in the 1970s, but potentially also in the late 1960s. Paint  and chrome work are in great condition, and there are some beautiful extras such as a stainless steel engine grille and a nice left rear view mirror. No visible rust and very clean underbody

  • General condition

    Really nice oval bubble in an exceptionally nice original design.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
