"This is a fantastic object to renovate. Leather upholstery, which was an option when the car was new, is almost completely complete."

Description

Lennart Hesselvik, a doctor at Uppsala's Akademiska hospital, registered it on November 1, 1950, and it was driven until 1964. Around 1970, the previous owner purchased it. He intended to renovate it, repairing the rust and repainting it in ice blue Renault paint (the original color was grey). He never got around to fixing the car, and it sat in the barn until 1972. It has old Swedish papers and an original check that was approved by the previous owner. The vehicle will now be inspected and re-registered.

The seller says: "When I bought the car, the engine was not in place and of the wrong model year from an early pontoon engine. I have put together an engine from right model year, from 23 May 1950; otherwise, everything is right for the 1950 model.
What is missing are the internal rear view mirror, a plate 10 x 15 cm left at the back of the cab rack and the wrong handle on the tailgate. New carpets and fabrics for the cab are needed; the horsehair mat should be able to be used as is. There is also a radio antenna on the right side but no radio. The jack that is included is not original but works for the car. All side windows are easy to crank down and up, the roof frame needs a little oil in a few places but can be folded up and down. The brakes are said to have been fixed but probably need to be redone. The left door does not really fit in the door frame; the door slot needs to be fixed. The wood at the back, at the hat rack needs to be replaced, other wood is OK. I cleaned and greased the leather seats and 2 repairs to the driver's seat backrest, with on other no damages."
