"Fun and correct B11 Sport with a largely known Swedish history, except for the first 20 years."

Description

The car was delivered new in Sweden in August 1952 and has the then-new rear hatch and the straight bumpers that were significant for cars manufactured from the second half of 1952 onwards. The current owner and thus the selling estate bought the car in 2008 from an acquaintance in Skåne. And he, in turn, bought it locally, from a man in Böste fishing village between Trelleborg and Smygehuk. It is also noted with owners in the B11 Club's registers from 1972-2001. In the early eighties, it likely received its black paint job that it has today and also a slightly more luxurious plush interior than what was offered originally. The latest approved inspection was done on 2016-05-31 and therefore passed, making it exempt from inspection in the period after 2018-04-20 when the new rules started to apply.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car was running 4-5 years ago, according to relatives of the estate, and at that time it was running without any oddities. Under the hood, one can see that coolant has sprayed around, probably from a burst hose or connection. Comparing the note from the last inspection in 2016 to the odometer's reading today shows a distance of 34 kilometers, and since 2009 it has traveled 1670 kilometers.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior feels nice and fresh from what we could see in the dim light and also has a good smell. The fine plush material on the seats and door sides is actually finer than what was offered from the factory, and when the car was renovated in the eighties, it was probably such material that was available instead of newly produced original fabric.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork appears stylish and representative from what we could discern in the confined and not entirely lit space. The previous owner can also confirm that the paint maintains a high quality. It was red/black in the early seventies and even white for a few years before it received its current black color around 1980. Black is also most likely its original color. Genuine Michelin X tires with white sidewalls are a bit more unusual.

  • General condition:

    Overall, it seems to be a genuine and fine B11 Sport to care for and preserve, with only minor service needs and a bit of review before it is put into use

Facts about the model

B11 simply stands for Berline 11, which is a sedan in tax class 11CV with the then exciting novelty of front-wheel drive, that is, Traction Avant, another epithet for the model. The larger and slightly more luxurious sister model B15, with a larger six-cylinder engine, was consequently in tax class 15CV with its bigger engine. And the small air-cooled Citroën 2CV is in... well, the low tax class of 2CV. CV stands for Cheval Vapeur – horsepower – which is an old French way of measuring power and thereby tax classification

  • 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.
