"It’s still a pleasant surprise to find these cars in such condition. Thanks to its first lady owner, who lived in the salt-free zone of Gotland, the car has been spared from rust and has hardly been driven. Since then, it has continued to enjoy careful ownership throughout its life."

"It’s still a pleasant surprise to find these cars in such condition. Thanks to its first lady owner, who lived in the salt-free zone of Gotland, the car has been spared from rust and has hardly been driven. Since then, it has continued to enjoy careful ownership throughout its life."

Description

This car was sold new in Sweden and has had a total of four owners, including the Volvo dealer Visby Motorcentral in Gotland, who originally sold it to its first lady owner in Gotland. She kept the car for an impressive 32 years before it was sold to the next owner, also in Gotland, who owned it for three years. The current owner purchased the car just over three years ago and has used it as a summer car, occasionally driving it to work and to local car events.

The car has always been well maintained and remains in a greatrunning condition. The cambelt was replaced in 2022 at 99,343 km. The engine bay still presents beautifully, and the original seats have been protected by fitted covers since new. Overall, the car presents very well, with only a few very minor blisters, no rust major issues, and an exceptionally solid underbody. It also benefits from an older Dinol rust protection treatment and comes with nice documentation from earlier years. This is genuinely one of the best examples I’ve seen in many years.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts instantly with a little choke, and the engine runs and sounds great. It drives smoothly with the 5-speed gearbox and clutch, has solid brakes, and feels stable on the road with no unwanted noises. As mentioned, the cambelt was replaced in 2022, and the car is inspected until 2025-07-31. It comes with good tires and wheels, as well as an older stamped service book. It’s ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean and well kept, with no issues. The seats are in good condition, protected by fitted seat covers, and nothing feels amiss underneath them. The headliner, carpets, mats, and door cards are all in nice shape, with only a small crack on the plastic pockets. The dashboard is undamaged, with fully functioning gauges and the original radio cassette still in place. The boot area is also clean and tidy.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is clean with straight panels and bright, tidy paintwork. There are some small touch-ups around the bonnet and other areas. The only visible imperfections are minor rust on the rear right upper wing edge near the window and on the inner edge of the rear door (see pictures). The underside is very clean with no issues. There is a scuff on the front bumper’s right corner, and the rear right corner of the bumper plastic sticks out slightly. Additionally, there is a very small, light dent on the upper part of the tailgate.

  • General condition:

    A super nice car with many years of trouble-free motoring ahead, while also holding strong potential for future value appreciation—making it a solid investment. The minor cosmetic issues are not urgent and can easily be addressed over time.

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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
