Description
This car was purchased by renowned collector Helge Karinen, who built up the remarkable collections at Sparreholm during the 1970s and 1980s. It has been on display in the museum and is now being made available for sale. According to information, it was acquired in England in the early 1980s when it was newly painted and had a recently overhauled engine. It was driven to Sweden and used a few times before being stored at the museum.
The body and paint are in excellent condition. The mechanics also appear to be in good shape but will require servicing to start and a brake inspection. The interior is in untouched original condition, showing signs of use and primarily needing a thorough cleaning (quite dusty and with some moth damage in a few areas). The overall impression is very favorable. This is a wonderful car for ceremonial drives, special occasions, weddings, and more. Additionally, the availability of spare parts is good in England, thanks to the highly active Daimler club.
