"A top-class restoration that still remains in pristine condition. Exceptionally fine."

Description

This truck is equipped with a step-tipping flatbed built by Sörling, an arrangement that is fully operated from inside the cab.

During the war years, it was used by the Swedish Armed Forces. After the war, it was sold to Duvedals Brickworks in Kalvsvik, outside Växjö. In the summer, it transported bricks and clay, while in winter, it was used for hauling firewood. By 1950, the company deemed the truck to have served its time, and it was left abandoned on a bog.

There it remained until 1986, when John Åke Franzén took it under his care. The truck was completely disassembled, and the restoration took two years. It was an impressive feat to bring the vehicle back to this remarkable condition, as many parts were missing and had to be sourced or fabricated.

In 1988, it was re-registered, and a major feature about the truck was published in Classic Motor’s Album #No:10. It has been used only sparingly over the years, and today, 35 years after its restoration, it remains just as stunning as when it was completed.

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.

  • 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.
