"The driving enjoyment with the roof and all windows down is just as great, whether you choose to address the exterior or simply enjoy it as it is."

Description

The car was sold new to its first owner in May 1970 and, according to the records, has had a total of seven registered owners, of whom approximately five were actual long-term users. One of these kept the car for over 40 years. The current owner has owned her teenage dream car for just over a year, but it has not seen quite as much use as she had hoped. A folder containing receipts, inspection reports and other documentation is included. The most recent—and final—approved MOT inspection was carried out on 4 September 2018, the same year the new exemption rules for cars over 50 years of age were introduced.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The familiar and authentic air-cooled feel remains in the engine, gearbox and chassis. The engine idles slightly high and would benefit from inspection and adjustment. The current owner has replaced the rocker covers, rocker cover gaskets, front brakes and exhaust silencer. New rear brake shoes are included but not yet fitted.

  • Interior condition:

    Most likely a brown original interior with a black rear seat backrest from another car. Alternatively, the interior may originally have been black like the door panels, with the rear seat being the only remaining original part. A wooden Empi steering wheel is fitted, as the original wheel was spongy and unpleasant in feel according to the owner. A newer radio is installed, but the decorative surround is missing.

  • Exterior condition:

    An older repaint, most likely carried out in the 1980s, with filler bubbles visible in the paintwork. Despite this period-typical effect, the car is still presentable and looks good from a distance. One can either choose to accept the bubbling, which is mainly visible in direct light, or opt for a full bare-metal respray. Both the soft top and the tonneau cover are in complete, clean and tidy condition. Newer Maxxis tyres from 2021 with good tread, fitted to attractive aftermarket wheels.

  • General condition:

    An advisory summary and a partly subjective overall impression: Live with the peculiarities of the paintwork and let the body shape, with fresh air around your head, set the tone for how the car is enjoyed.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • 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.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
