"An exciting little sixties car in all its simplicity, especially after its long period of inactivity."

Description

It was delivered in February 1965 by GM dealer Bil AB Rosenqvist & Persson in Simrishamn to its first owner, farmer Axel Månsson from Sjöbo. The price was 10,200 SEK, and Månsson traded in his 1954 Ford Taunus, for which he received a deduction of 1,300 SEK. Månsson was also careful to have the SEV Marchal 640 fog light transferred from the Taunus. The equipment list included, among other things, seat belts, mud flaps, water spray, exhaust extender, and whitewall tires with wheel rings. However, the whitewall tires are not visible in the photos where the Månsson couple poses by the car, and the chrome wheel rings are also missing from the car today. The last service was performed in 1971 before the car was stored away in the mid-seventies. No oil was poured into the cylinders, no registration fee was paid, and it fell out of the register. The current owner re-registered the car in 2019, and the Kadett passed its inspection for the last time.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine was seized when the current owner bought the car, and after many attempts with various tips and tricks, he decided to remove the engine and disassemble it. The pistons were knocked out using heat and wooden blocks. It essentially became a minor engine overhaul with new pistons, bearings, valves, and a resurfaced head.

  • Interior condition:

    Untouched, fine interior in original condition, though the front rubber mat was too dry to be saved, along with the gear shift boot. Well-preserved door panels and headliner.

  • Exterior condition:

    Original paint in good condition, but the left rear fender edge had some surface rust and has been touch-up painted. It needs further wet sanding and polishing. There is a small blister on the right B-pillar and right sill. Otherwise, the exterior is nice with good chrome details.

  • General condition:

    Genuine and pleasant overall impression with a largely untouched original condition. The history and documentation contribute to preserving this well-kept entry-level car from the past.

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.
