Description

The owner, a classic car collector with a diverse collection, holds this Borgward Isabella Kombi in special regard. He has owned the car since 1979 and drove it daily until 1982 when it was retired and stored in his barn. In 2015, he decided it was time for this old partner to see daylight again and began a full renovation. Now, they can once again enjoy a new chapter of motoring together.

The car was shipped to a specialist bodywork company called Bring Back Classic, where it was stripped down to bare metal. Rust issues were repaired, and body panels were restored before repainting the car in its original color. The original seats, which were in excellent condition, were refitted to retain a more authentic feel, and new carpets and a headliner were installed. The engine, gearbox, and rear axle were thoroughly reviewed and renovated, with many newer and worn auxiliary parts replaced during the rebuild. The renovation was completed with a final inspection and a new registration number in 2021, marking the reunion of these two old friends. The finishing touch was added last year with new chrome bumpers.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts directly and is a pleasure to drive, with everything under and around the car in good working order. It features very nice wheels, chrome hubcaps, and good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in great condition, with original seats, dashboard, and instrumentation all preserved. It is fitted with new carpets and a headliner, giving a balanced feel of both originality and a newer feel.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork, paint, chromework, and underbody look fantastic with no damages or rust. If I have to mention one issue, it's that the driver's door needs a slight adjustment to close tighter. Aside from this, it would be hard to find a nicer model.

  • General condition:

    Firstly, how often do you find an Isabella Kombi for sale? Virtually never. This one has been professionally renovated, promising many years of trouble-free motoring ahead for the new buyer.

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.

  • 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.
