"Nice car in good all-around condition but requires some service and interior work, as well as a good clean and polish."

Description

The car is currently undergoing a startup service and review, with updates to follow. It is in good all-around condition but requires some service and interior work, as well as a good clean and polish. Last inspection/MOT in 1973. The car comes from the Sandahls collection, which Bilweb Auctions AB will sell in early spring under four different themes: first, some of the family's popular workhorses, mainly Mercedes, Volkswagen, and a wildcard; then, half a dozen exclusive Rolls-Royce and Jaguar models; followed by a selection of early Ford cars and a Chevrolet from the childhood and youth of motoring. Finally, there will be nine different award-winning and representative full-size USA cars from 1959, the year when fins were at their largest. Sandahls is one of Sweden's largest family-owned transport conglomerates today. The company was founded in Värnamo in 1949. Older generations have collected around forty cars under various themes in their private museum for many years. Bilweb Auctions AB has now been tasked with the honor of selling these cars in four rounds in February and March this year.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine turns over but does not start. An update is coming soon as it is undergoing a startup service. A new battery has been fitted. The engine is complete and in tidy condition. Nice wheels with shiny chrome hubcaps and good older tires are present. However, the brakes are not working and appear to be stuck on.

  • Interior condition:

    The textile seats are in good condition, and there is a nice headliner and door cards. Some window winder handles are missing but included in the boot (see pictures), along with a wooden trim for the rear window. The dashboard and instrumentation are okay and complete, although there is damage to the rearview mirror. The rubber floor mats are worn and broken, and the entire interior will need a good cleaning.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is generally in good condition and solid. There are blisters on the driver's edge front wings and under the spare wheel panel. Some surface rust is present in the boot floor and around the front grille. The underbody is okay, with some surface rust in places and some older signs of welding. The paintwork is bright and would look better with a polish, although there are a few scratches and paint chips in places. The chromework is okay and shiny, with some spots of oxidation.

  • General condition:

    With a good review and service, this car will soon be back on the road. Being a 170, they are a sought-after model.

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.
