Description
New upholstery and interior components were sewn and installed, including seat covers, door panels, and the headliner. Before this, the entire interior space was professionally repainted in the same white color as the upper part of the car. The renovation was completed just in time for the summer vacation in 2017. The car was driven to the vehicle inspection on June 22 and passed without any remarks. The first trip took the car through Germany, over the Alps, and down to Croatia without any issues.
The car is equipped with a convertible sofa inside that can be used for sleeping, curtains, and camping equipment stored in the bus's storage compartments, all of which are included with the purchase. A roof rack, camping table, awning, stone chip protection at the front, and Mad-Matz blackout curtains are also included, along with a folder containing all receipts for parts and renovations. The car has been meticulously maintained and invested in with costs exceeding 300,000 SEK. Among the equipment, a tow hitch is worth mentioning, which is useful for carrying bicycle racks and other accessories.
Technical data
Condition

The car started easily and runs smoothly. It has been driven 1300 miles on trouble-free holiday trips in recent years, both to Southern Europe and up to Northern Norway.

Interior condition
The interior is in excellent condition and features a "rock and roll" sofa at the back that can be pulled out to form a full-width bed measuring 2 meters in length. With a simple maneuver, it can be folded back into a sofa, and underneath, there is a storage compartment for bedding and other items. The side cabinet, with drawers, is beautifully crafted in teak, although the top surface is not completely finished (not coated). The flooring is in excellent condition, as is the instrument panel and all interior details, which are in top-notch condition.
-
Exterior condition
The body and paintwork are in excellent condition, as well as all the other details, which are in top-notch shape. The only remarks worth noting are that the sliding door can only be locked from the inside and rolls a bit sluggishly. There is a slight hint of a paint bubble underneath one of the rear lights, as seen in the picture.

Facts about the model
Today, T1, T2, and T3 buses in excellent condition are highly sought after and sold on the international market.
