"A time capsule - a reference example that shows what they looked like straight from the factory."

Description

Bought new in 1975 by a man in Sävedalen who only got to use it for two years before he passed away. The family chose to keep and store the car - where it remained for 38 years! Except for an inspection that was done in 1980, which resulted in the purchase of a new battery that is still in use - and a May flower. In 2015, it was brought out again and re-registered. Some damage had occurred during storage, so a door, fender and hood were repainted. In its early days of its new life, it still used the Trelleborg tires from 1975. Original tires and some other parts are still saved and included.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Can be compared to a new car in principle. Runs quietly, smoothly and everything works and sounds as it did back then. Equipped with an Eberspächer engine heater which is disconnected. Therefore, some cooling hoses have been rerouted in the engine compartment. The radiator has been replaced, mainly for reliability. Original radiator is available. The battery is temporarily held with a tension strap as the mount is made for a different battery type. An original type battery dated 1980 is available and amazingly still works.

  • Interior condition:

    New car feeling - the only thing that has been replaced is the rubber mats on the floor as the original ones had become hard and brittle. The panel under the glove compartment hangs a bit loose as a speaker was once installed behind it.

  • Exterior condition:

    Paint, moldings, and shiny parts maintain the highest possible finish. The bumpers retain their original brushed stainless steel surface in completely undamaged condition. During its long period of dormancy, some damage occurred, which led to the driver's door, right front fender, and hood being repainted. There are some older touch-ups in the engine compartment near the battery, where some acid likely splashed. There is a small flaw on the tailgate. Here, you can clearly see what the seams, welds, and fit looked like when these were rolling out of the factory.

  • General condition:

    It doesn't get more untouched and original.

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.
