"A renovation object in good condition, not much rust and from what I can judge, most of it has been preserved in parts."

Description

Sven Smokey Åsberg, the famed track manager for Anderstorp circuit, purchased this car new in 1968. He drove the car for a few years before trading it in at Ambjörnsson's car dealership in Gislaved. It was later owned by several people until 1980, when the current owners purchased it. The car was in good shape and had been parked while being renovated. It has always been stored in dry places and has withstood rust extremely well. The majority and most important elements have been conserved and are in good shape.

Because there isn't enough time, the owner wants this unique car to go to an enthusiast who has the time to finish it.

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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
