One owner family over the years, mainly mother and daughter, but also the father during parts of the 1970s and 1980s. Detailed history, in other words, and in a charmingly patinated condition.

"The everyday people’s car of its time, now in an attractively used condition by today’s standards, featuring a few decisive and important characteristics: the small oval rear window, the red vinyl upholstery, and the beautiful sunroof."

Description

The car was delivered to its first owner—the current owner’s mother—sometime in 1957. In 1964, the current owner took over the car from his mother and used it fairly normally until the early 1970s. Since then, it has only been a summer car at the family’s summer home in northwest Skåne. Maintenance and servicing have been carried out with typical care and attention.

A charming driving log from the 1970s offers an interesting insight for those who enjoy such details. Following the entries in the log and the owner’s stories, it’s likely the car has not traveled more than the current odometer reading of 89,000 km.

The engine needing replacement after just 13,000 km might seem unusual today, but it was not uncommon back then. The car has been stored in a cold garage for the past 15 years. It has recently been started but requires an oil change and brake overhaul before inspection.

The original license plate issued before 1973 from the Stockholm area is included. The last approved inspection was carried out on August 6, 2009.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Started after 15 years of inactivity, the engine fires up easily and quickly and runs well, paired with a good gearbox. The brakes need a complete overhaul, although the parking brake engages and releases properly. One of the front drums has a loose brake shoe rattling inside, causing noise when the car rolls. The engine (correct series and year) was reportedly replaced at a dealership when the current owner bought the car from his mother in 1964. The turn signals work but need some attention to improve—they’ll likely benefit from lubrication and some gentle movement.

  • Interior condition:

    Original interior with a naturally aged patina that many find appealing. A couple of seams need repair, and the vinyl would benefit from cleaning and care to preserve it for the future. Door panels, the headliner with the sunroof, and the area behind the rear seats are all nice, clean, and free of moisture stains. The headliner has been replaced.

  • Exterior condition:

    Repainted in the original color at some point, and since then the paint has developed a charming patina. The sunroof is intact and clean both inside and out, and opens and closes smoothly. Nice floor pan, underbody, and running boards. Equipped with older bias-ply tires and attractive original hubcaps. The front bumper shows some surface rust and has a slightly misaligned mounting.

  • General condition:

    Beautifully patinated with an excellent history and easy to get back on the road. It’s honestly quite attractive as it is, with all the years of current ownership reflected in its condition.
