Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts easily and runs smoothly without any abnormal noises. The stainless steel exhaust system enhances the engine's responsiveness. The gearbox operates flawlessly with no issues, and there are no unwanted sounds from the rear axle. Suspension and road handling are in excellent condition.

    The fuel sender has been replaced and is fully functional. The newly refurbished brakes provide even and precise stopping power, and the handbrake works perfectly. The dual twin-barrel Solex carburetors have been restored and calibrated. The engine has been thoroughly inspected with no faults found.

  • Interior condition:

    Beautiful leather upholstery, newly manufactured but in the same design and color as the original. The functionality of the clock and radio is uncertain, but all other instruments work perfectly and are in top condition. The entire dashboard, including the steering wheel and gear lever, is in excellent shape. The floor mats are in near-new condition.

    The original spare wheel, jack, and several other original tools are included in the well-maintained luggage compartment. Spare keys are present, and all locks function properly.

  • Exterior condition:

    Beautifully repainted after a minor insurance repair, the car has been meticulously polished. There are no stone chips or visible defects in the paint. All chrome details have been professionally re-chromed to a high standard.

    Every detail, including emblems, fuel cap, splash guards in front of the rear wheel arches, radio antenna, and more, remains in its original design. The radio antenna is manually extended using a special small key.

    The convertible top is newly manufactured with an excellent fit on the original frame. The cover for the folded-down top is included. However, the hardtop is not present.

  • General condition:

    A beautiful sports car where everything works exactly as it should.

Owner's comment

The car is now driven too rarely, and I would like a new enthusiast to take over and enjoy it.

Facts about the model

The car was purchased by its current owner back in 1982 when it had approximately 90,000 km on the odometer. The previous and sole owner had regularly serviced the car at Philipssons in Stockholm, keeping it in good mechanical condition. However, it had suffered from rust, so the current owner commissioned a professional metalworker to repair all rust damage before having the car repainted in its original color.

Since then, the interior has been reupholstered to match the original design, and all chrome parts have been professionally re-chromed. Since 1982, the car has been driven only about 30,000 km, meaning that the total mileage is estimated to be just 120,000 km according to the odometer.

A comprehensive binder with all relevant documentation has been preserved.

  • 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.

  • 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.
