"Top-class renovation that still maintains its peak condition. Exceptionally fine."

Description

This truck is equipped with a step-sided tipping flatbed built by Sörling. A mechanism that is operated entirely from inside the cabin. During the wartime, it was utilized by the defense forces. After the war, it was sold to Duvedals Brickworks in Kalvsvik, just outside Växjö. During summers, it transported bricks and clay, while during winters, it carried firewood. In 1950, it was deemed no longer useful and was left on a marsh.

It remained there until 1986 when John Åke Franzén took charge of it. The truck was disassembled into components, and the restoration took two years. It was an impressive feat to bring the truck back to this incredible condition. Many parts were missing and had to be sourced or manufactured. In 1988, it was registered again, and a significant feature about the truck was included in Classic Motor's album #10.

Throughout the years, it has been sparingly used, which is why it remains as splendid today as it was 35 years ago when the restoration was completed.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Mechanically completely overhauled and renovated. Everything functions flawlessly, including the clever Sörling tipping mechanism.

  • Interior condition:

    All wooden components and other interior elements were replaced during the renovation, all of which are still in very good condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Shiny and well-maintained paint that has held up well over the years. Wheels and tires are in the same excellent condition. The chassis maintains the same level of quality as the body in terms of finish. A few scratches on the flatbed are practically all that has occurred over the years.

  • General condition:

    Today, it's an uncommon model that is in road-ready top condition. Requires a C driver's license.

  • 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.
