"An Opel in very good and well-maintained condition."

Description

This car is probably unique, it has survived very well from rust attacks and we can't find a single small rust repair. The current owner has owned the car since 1976. He found it parked on a scrapyard in Borlänge and it had only one previous owner. This turned out to be a foreman at the mill in Tierp. This owner had cared for the car as his dearest possession. He loaned it to his grandchild who went on vacation to Dalarna, but the grandchild ran out the engine and the car was handed in for scrapping. The car was deregistered, but dismantling had not started. The current owner bought the car from the scrapyard and managed to re-register it, which was easy at the time. He has renovated the engine, added a new headliner, and had it repainted in the original color sometime in the 1980s. The Opel has driven about 3000 km since the renovation and is in very good and well-maintained condition. The car is inspected and ready to drive for the season's trips. The Opel has appeared in a couple of magazines in Sweden and Germany in the 1990s, see pictures.

Facts about the model

The Opel Rekord P1 was called Opel Olympia Rekord P for the first two years. It was introduced in August 1957 and replaced the previous model, Opel Olympia Rekord. It was larger than its predecessor and featured panoramic windows both at the front and rear that extended around the corners. In this way, the car imitated the popular American models from GM and its sibling, the Vauxhall Victor FA, which was introduced a few months earlier.

In West Germany, the Opel Rekord P1 was the second best-selling model during its years of production, surpassed only by the smaller and cheaper Volkswagen Type 1. Despite its success, the model didn't have a long lifespan and was replaced by the Rekord P2 in the summer of 1960. A total of 603,597 units were manufactured. The old body style continued to be produced until 1962 under the name Opel 1200, as a simplified low-cost version.

While the body was new and modern, the technology was quite old. The 1500 engine was essentially identical to the one used in the Opel Olympia 1937.
