Description
In 1976 it was inspected and retired after just over 5,000 miles driven and with many thoughts and ambitions, among other things the B18 engine was to be replaced by an Elleman-Jakobsen-tuned B20 engine. Furthermore, Nils-Olof wanted to give his 1800S an exterior touch of the last year's models with different rims, moldings and details. But his other vehicles and interests, including classic Swedish motorcycles, took their toll and the completion dragged on.
In 2010, the previous owner inherited the car and he too had an ambition to finish the build, but time ran out and finally his friend, the current owner, bought the car and had it finished in his workshop. After 46 years of inactivity, it came out on its own wheels again in 2022. It comes with a considerable collection of documentation in a large box, including original workshop and parts books. The car was inspected on 22-10-18 and is now exempt from inspection.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The original B18 engine performs admirably, and the transmission operates as it should. Elegant engine compartment with polished accents. The regular function of the ignition lock is merged with a start button that currently hangs beneath the ignition lock. The key causes the lock to spring back, but no electrical signal is sent. The underbody was thoroughly scraped clean of underbody seal and painted in the matte black that still seems newly painted today, including the period-typical colorfully painted prop shaft, oil pan, springs, wheel suspension, the inside of the wheels, and more.
-
Interior condition
Handcrafted leather seats by a well-known local saddler. Despite Nils-desire Olof's to modernize the car, the elegant instrument cluster remains, as does the bakelite steering wheel.
-
Exterior condition
Quality repaint with a wonderful depth, perhaps from the early 1970s. When Nils-Olof sought to modernize the car's exterior, he did what many others did: he replaced the bandy club moldings with later straight moldings and door handles. The bandy stick moldings remain and are included (photo), however the door handles, original wheels, and hubcaps are missing.
-
General condition
Dismantled, renovated, and stored, and therefore carefully kept with an updated interpretation in a wonderful condition.
