"The car has remained excellent condition with no serious rust issues and gives a great impression. It was upgraded in the 90s with a larger 1900 engine that is lively and runs smoothly."

Description

The car was purchased by an acquaintance of the current owner, whose mother had owned it since new. The year was 1989, and the car had covered 16,200 kilometers. It was rustproofed and driven for a few years before the owner swapped in a 1900 engine, which was rebuilt. The engine was bored to 2 liters, fitted with a more aggressive cam, a Weber 36/36 carburetor, and electronic ignition. During a test on a rolling road, it was measured at 115 hp at the wheels. Since then, the engine has covered around 1,500 kilometers, and the original engine was not kept.

In the mid-90s, the car was parked for around 15 years, and before it was put back on the road, the following work was done:

New brake discs and calipers at the front

New brake shoes at the rear

New spark plugs, ignition cables, and distributor

Since then, the car has been driven very sparingly.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs excellently and features a lightly tuned 1900 engine that was rebuilt about 15 000 kilometers ago. The brakes have also been refurbished and work flawlessly. The sunroof has not been tested, as it has not been opened in many years.

  • Interior condition:

    The original interior shows some wear, including holes in the fabric on the seats and a seam that has come undone in the back seat. The headliner would also benefit from a cleaning. The original carpet shows wear on the driver's side.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car was repainted in its original color sometime in the early 80s and has held up well with only a few imperfections. There is a scratch on the driver's door, a small dent on the left front fender, and some rust bubbles at the lower edge. The vinyl roof has come loose slightly at the lower edge at the rear. The chrome is in good condition, and it has original wheels with new tires.

  • General condition:

    A survivor that is hard to find in such great condition today. The car is inspection-exempt for life and ready to drive to summer gatherings and outings.
