Description
This Opel has had only a few careful owners who have taken great care of it.
It has most likely not covered more than 104,000 km.
At some point in the 1990s, the car was repainted in its original color and has barely been driven since. It has mostly been on display in various collections. The current owner has carried out a recommissioning service, and the car runs well.
The car was restored in the 1990s and has not been driven since the restoration. In 2014, it was sold to a private collector in the Kristianstad area, where it remained on display without being driven. In 2024, the current owner purchased the car for their collection and has not driven it.

Facts about the model
In 1953, Opel introduced its major new model, the Opel Olympia Rekord. With its modern pontoon body, it was something entirely different from Opel’s pre-war designs. It succeeded the earlier Olympia, which had been in production since 1935.
The Olympia Rekord, featuring scaled-down GM-inspired styling from the USA, was built until 1957 and was equipped with a four-cylinder inline engine and a three-speed manual gearbox. It was available as a two-door sedan, estate (wagon), and convertible.
In 1955, it received a mild facelift with a slightly larger rear window and a new grille. According to data from the Swedish Transport Agency, there are ???? about 310 registered Opel Olympia Rekord models from 1953–1957 in Sweden, so you’re unlikely to encounter many similar cars on the road this summer.

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.
