"The car runs and drives nicely, and it has a mild sport exhaust that produces a lovely sound. To make it really nice, it needs some cosmetic improvements on both the exterior and interior.."

Description

The current owner bought the car in 2016 and used it for a year before putting it in the garage; it had previously had 6 Swedish owners. The car starts and drives fine, but it will require a new inspection/MOT and a service. There are no major issues to report; the bodywork is straight, and there are no serious rust problems; in fact, the underbody, floor, and boot space are very clean. It was repainted many years ago, and the paint has begun to flake off on the wing seam. To be really attractive, it would need to be repainted and the interior refreshed, particularly the dash board panel. It is a car that may be used as is while the renovation work is carried out in stages. Based on its condition, the mileage is likely to be 163,000 kilometres.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Easy to start runs and drives smoothly good brakes good gear change okay wheels and rims and tires. MOT/Inspection free for life

  • Interior condition

    The interior is a touch worn, particularly the plastic dashboard and grey leather seats. The carpets are okay, as are the door cards, and nothing immediately needs to be fixed; instead, they should be improved.

  • Exterior condition

    The distinctive purple paint was almost probably repainted at some point, and it could have been white? The floors are rust-free, the underbody is clean and there are only a few blisters on the door sills. Small scratches and scuffs in the paintwork, but the bodywork is straight and has good shut lines. However, the paintwork on the body seams is flaking (see photos), overall with a decent polish it can be improved but needs to be repainted to be nice.

  • General condition

    With a new inspection/MOT and service, you'll have a great summer car that you may improve upon or enjoy as is.

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.
