"The owner replaced the engine 2005, replacing the old worn engine for something more reliable. The bus starts easily after a few turns of the key, which is normal for these models. The engine runs smoothly, and it is easy to drive with a good gearshift, reliable brakes, and solid road handling. The interior is fresh and well-maintained. Inspected until 2026-05-31 and ready to drive home."

Description

This bus was originally sold in Sweden and has had a total of nine owners, including dealers. The current owner bought it in 2000 and has enjoyed it with the family virtually every summer since then. The bus has always been kept in good running condition, serviced by the owner every year, and properly garaged over the winter.

In 2005, the owner upgraded the engine to a 2.0-liter for more power, replacing the old worn engine. Additionally, the dashboard panel was changed for a better one a few years back so the total mileage is approximately 230,000 km. The owner also fitted Saab front seats, which are much more comfortable than the original ones. The bus was originally orange and was probably repainted in the 1980s. The pop-top, fitted around the same time, is from a Swedish company called Jofa.

The bus is in good, solid condition with no rust issues on the underbody or floors. The owner attempted to repaint a side panel after a small dent, but the color doesn't match perfectly. This is an easy fix with today's color-matching technology.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The bus is in good running condition and feels very stable on the road, with good brakes and easy-shifting gears. The steel wheels are in decent shape but would look better with a fresh coat of paint. It has good chrome hubcaps and older tires in good condition. The bus also comes fitted with a towbar and a front-mounted spare wheel.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean and fresh, free of any strange smells, with nice, clean seats and a well-maintained dashboard featuring functional gauges. The headliner is in good condition with a few marks. In the rear, there's a pop-top roof, a roll-back double bed, a fridge that operates on both gas and electricity, and a small, rarely used chemical toilet. Additionally, there's some storage space, a cupboard to hang clothes, and a good wooden floor. There is plenty of potential to upgrade for more modern creature comforts.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and undamaged, featuring a good, clean, and solid underbody with only a few minor spots of surface rust. The paintwork is clean and bright, though the side panel repaint doesn't match perfectly and there are a few small stone chips and marks in some areas. Small rust blisters can be found around the front corner panel seams and around the rear boot lid (see pictures). The pop top has one or two very small holes, approximately 1 cm each, which are easily repairable.

  • General condition:

    This is a good and solid bus, ready for the next owner to enjoy for many years. Hop in and start your camper life right away. The cosmetic issues can be fixed over time, as nothing is urgent.

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.
