"The car hasn’t been driven for a few years and just received a startup service along with a fixed fuel pump, so it now runs and drives. However, the brakes are nonfunctional and will need attention—it can currently only be moved using the handbrake. There is a ticking sound coming from underneath, most likely from the exhaust, but there are no apparent issues with driving or the gearbox."

Description

Originally sold new in Sweden, this car has had ten registered owners, with one owner in Borås keeping it for a longer period. The current owner purchased it two years ago but is now selling due to limited space. An older renovation and repaint show signs of blistering, cracks, and flaking filler, yet the body panels remain solid—these cars were built like tanks—so rust is largely surface-level. You can either enjoy driving it as-is for a few years or opt for a straightforward renovation focusing on bodywork and paint. The interior is in generally good condition, and the mechanical fixes required are simple. With a realistic reserve price, this is a fun and affordable classic to own and enjoy.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Runs and drives, but the brakes need attention. There’s a ticking sound underneath—likely coming from the exhaust—and it still operates on a 6-volt electrical system. The engine bay is intact, the engine runs smoothly, and there are no issues with the gearbox. It has been upgraded to a four-speed transmission instead of the original three-speed with overdrive. The car is exempt from future inspections and comes with good wheels and newer tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior was renovated some time ago and remains in a good, presentable state. The seats are complete but do have a few stains, and there is damage to the driver’s seat fabric in the top corner and along the top edges of the rear seat (see pictures). The headliner and floor mats are in acceptable condition, and while the door cards aren’t original, they still look good. The dashboard panel pad appears to have been replaced at some point, yet it presents well, and all gauges function. The heater fan works but only operates at a single speed.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and generally solid. It was repainted in the 1980s, which has led to noticeable blistering from spray filler. Some rust is visible where paint has cracked and older filler has chipped off. The underbody appears solid, showing signs of older welding, and the boot space is also in decent shape. Overall, the paintwork has blisters, chips, and areas of surface rust (see pictures).

  • General condition:

    An easy and budget-friendly classic that offers a great entry point for anyone looking to join the classic car scene. It will eventually need some fixes and a repaint to improve its appearance, but it can still be enjoyed as-is during the summer.

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