"This instantly put a smile on my face when it rolled into our depot. It’s such a genuine car that's been cherished by the same family since new. It runs and drives very well, with the engine, gearbox, clutch, and brakes all in great condition. There is a very slight knocking sound in the rear when driving over speed bumps, but otherwise, it’s great to drive. It is inspection exempt for life and ready to drive home."

Description

This car was delivered new on December 22, 1967, by Nyström Bil in Jönköping. The original owner kept the car until 1985, when he passed away and his daughter took over ownership. The only reason for selling the car now is that the daughter has retired from driving.

The mileage is 185,721 km, which is 100% accurate, as the car comes with one of the best-documented histories I have seen. However, when you drive the car and look at the interior condition, it feels more like it has driven 85,721 km. It’s one of the most genuine cars I have seen in many years. Approximately 15 years ago, the rear right wing was repaired and repainted after someone backed into the car, which is the only recorded damage to the car.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts immediately with a very smooth-running engine, direct gear shift, and a smooth clutch. The brakes are strong, and it handles well, making it a very pleasant car to drive. There is a small noise in the rear when going over speed bumps, but otherwise, it is silent while driving. It will likely require a simple service, as it hasn't been driven much in the past year.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in wonderful, well-kept condition with no damage to the seats, which appear to have been rarely used, especially the rear seats. The mats, door cards, and headliner are in great shape. The dashboard cover has a crack, but it’s an easy replacement. All instrumentation and gauges work, although the fuel gauge flickers.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight, and upon close inspection, the panels appear original, retaining the factory welding points. The underbody is clean and undamaged. The paintwork is vibrant and presents very well, though there are small blisters around the headlights, the rear lower right wing, and a few minor spots around the car (see pictures). The chrome is clean and bright, with minor scratches and oxidation.

  • General condition:

    This car is a great example of originality and should be preserved as such. The minor cosmetic issues can be easily addressed over time. With its rich history and having had only two owners, it’s rare to find another car that matches its charm and authenticity.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • 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.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
