"This car had been sitting in a garage for at least 25 years and is now drivable. We changed the fuel pump, clutch cylinder, spark plugs, HT cables, Distributor cap, Rotor, Carb fuel floater needle valve and cleaned the fuel tank and pipes. Now up and running with a smooth engine and easy gear shifts. The brakes work slightly and will need a full service, then it’s ready for its finally inspection/MOT."

Description

The present owner has numerous old cars in his collection and purchased this car in 1992 from a family member in Åland and added it to his collection. The car was driven until 1997, got its last inspection in 1996, and has since remained in his collection. After a few weeks in our depot and the above-mentioned maintenance, it is currently running and driving very well, but the brakes require a thorough overhaul; they work marginally but the hand brake works perfectly. It had the rear wheel arches replaced, welding work done in the trunk floor and both wheelhouses, and it was totally repainted to a good standard at some time in its history. The underbody is clean, despite being painted blue and shows no signs of damage. The front grill and blinkers aren't original and are difficult to obtain, but it's otherwise complete and original. The interior had seat covers and we removed them, and the original vinyl and textile are in great condition, even having a good and complete rubber floor mat. On the interior, the only thing that needs renovation is the front door cards.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine and transmission are in good working order, but the brakes require a total overhaul. The values have been adjusted, and the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced. A general evaluation of the electrics is required before it is ready for its final inspection.

  • Interior condition:

    Original and complete interior in a nice condition, wonderful vinyl and textile seats with a small stain in the rear. Front door cards need renovation and loose window winders and door handles. Good headliner with a small rip around the rear left window.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight, with some surface rust on the lower door and wing edges and the previously stated older welding work. The paintwork is in good condition and only needs a good polish; there is a minor scuff on the rear passenger door. Except for the right rear corner bumper, which has been painted "See images," the chrome and trim are in good condition. Good tyres and wheels.

  • General condition:

    Even with some cosmetic faults, the car is presentable. Just focus on fixing the brakes and getting it inspected, and you will have a beautiful running classic Amazon that can be enhanced over time.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
