"The car has been stored in the owner's garage for the past 10 years without being driven. It seems to be in good condition as the engine still rolls over when in gear. With a startup service and thorough review, it should be relatively easy to get it up and running again. Once it undergoes one final inspection it will be exempt from future inspections indefinitely."

"The car has been stored in the owner's garage for the past 10 years without being driven. It seems to be in good condition as the engine still rolls over when in gear.

Description

The car has had a total of 4 owners, with the current owner possessing it for 24 years. Since its last inspection in 2011, the car has been stored in the owner's garage without being driven for over 10 years. The interior remains in good condition, with minor marks on the seats. However, the bodywork displays surface rust spots on the roof, bootlid, bonnet, and upper wings, which contribute to a patina appearance. The underbody shows signs of previous welding work on the sill, and there is a visible rust hole in the lower inner front wings and under the headlights (refer to pictures). It is possible to repair or replace both front wings. Once it undergoes its final inspection, it will be a fun car and a worthwhile investment for the future. Previous inspection reports indicate that the car has been driven for at least 160,000 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine bay of the car is clean and, with a service and review, it should be easy to get it back up and running. The car rolls smoothly and has good wheels, although the tires are older and may need to be replaced. To collect the car, it is recommended to use a trailer for transportation.

  • Interior condition:

    There are small brown marks on the seats and slightly worn carpets on the inner sill, but the door cards, headliner, and carpets are in good condition. The interior doesn't require any major work; a thorough cleaning should suffice to restore its appearance.

  • Exterior condition:

    As previously mentioned, the car does have some rust issues and a patina look. Specifically, the front wing will need to be repaired or replaced, along with some minor fixes. The chrome work, although in good condition overall, does exhibit some oxidation. However, there are no rust issues around the battery or in the front spare wheel well.

  • General condition:

    After a proper startup service and bodywork fixes, this car will be a fun and trouble-free ride for many years, once it passes its final inspection.

  • 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.
