"Dignified and beautiful, the W11 has a particularly stylish design. Paired with the older caravan, this has been a fine combination at the Classic Car Week in Rättvik on several occasions."

Description

It was privately imported new in June 1969 by the owner of Ödmans Trafikskola in Gothenburg. He drove it as a enthusiast car, and of course not as a driving school car, until 1985 when his daughter, the current owner, took over the car. She continued to use it for enthusiast purposes, sometimes with a small caravan. In recent years, usage has been more sparing, but still sufficient for good maintenance. The odometer has completed a full rotation, and the total mileage today is 105 700 kilometers. The latest and final inspection was conducted on June 5, 2017.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine sounds and feels good once it has warmed up, and last season’s fuel has been diluted with this year’s. The gearbox shifts well, and the brakes engage smoothly. Parts of the exhaust system appear to be new. It has a tow bar with an older electric brake system, and the electric brake function itself works fine. The pedal/lever made of metal is located on the left side near the floor.

  • Interior condition:

    Beautiful, soft, and vibrant red leather upholstery, which has been covered with a sheepskin cover since the current owner acquired the car. We removed the cover on the driver’s seat for the photos, and the rest of the leather upholstery is equally fresh and nice, if not even better. There is some normal entry wear on the driver’s side. Otherwise, the instrument panel, carpets, headliner, and door panels are also in neat and nice condition. It’s also a nice touch to have the original Blaupunkt radio from that era.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice and presentable paint, slightly touched up at the lower right rear fender edge to address early signs of corrosion. The rear fenders have been partially repainted in the seventies after a couple of garage scratches. Newer Hankook tires with good tread on the original steel rims with nice hubcaps. The mirrors on the front fenders are adjustable, and the owners have done some driving with a small vintage caravan from 1966 attached to the car. The so-called “Amerika” headlights must have been installed sometime in the eighties; in a couple of older photos, the car appears to have standard headlights. The spare tire in the luggage compartment is an older diagonal tire, likely the original tire from 1969

  • General condition:

    Solid overall impression with a nice history, relatively low mileage, and well-maintained condition. The car has been driven every year, albeit only a few miles each year, but that’s what an older car benefits from.

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.

  • 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.
