Description

Originally purchased new by Allan on June 30, 1965, at Bilbolaget in Sundsvall, this Pearl White Amazon remained in his care for 30 years. On November 30, 1995, his daughter Ulla-Britt took over ownership, and on September 9, 2018, it was passed down to the third generation when Kristina became the owner. Throughout its lifetime, the car has primarily been driven on relatively salt-free roads in northern Sweden, helping to preserve its condition. Delivered new by Bilbolaget on Bultgatan in Sundsvall, it came with a factory-installed tow hitch, as documented.

With an estimated 133,670 km, the car was used mainly for local driving around Sundsvall. It is permanently exempt from both inspections and road tax. The car has undergone some rust repairs, including replaced front wings, but most of it remains in original condition. The exterior is finished in Pearl White, while the interior is upholstered in Burgundy Red.

The current owner purchased the car last year and recently had it fully serviced at a workshop, including new spark plugs, ignition cables, distributor cap, rotor, and a complete oil, oil filter, and coolant change. The undercarriage has been treated, and nearly all rubber seals have been replaced. In addition, a retro-style Bluetooth stereo has been installed, along with an Alpine subwoofer with a GAS amplifier in the trunk and GAS speakers on the rear shelf with a separate amplifier.

An older renovation is beginning to show in some areas, with minor rust spots and small paint bubbles that can be addressed over time

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts immediately and runs and drives well, with a smooth engine, gearbox, clutch, and brakes. Recently serviced at a workshop, including new spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, rotor, oil change, oil filter replacement, and fresh coolant. The underbody has been treated for protection. Equipped with 5.5-inch wheels and good tires, with an older set of winter tires included. Inspection-exempt and ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    interior is clean, tidy, and well-kept, with all seats in good condition. There is a small rip on the side of the driver’s seat cushion and a loose seam on the top of the passenger seat. The dashboard and gauges are clean, and the carpets and headliner are in good shape. Also fitted with a new retro-style Bluetooth stereo, featuring an Alpine subwoofer in the trunk, a GAS amplifier, and GAS speakers mounted on the rear shelf with a separate amplifier.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car is presentable but has an older renovation and repaint, which is now showing signs of rust and blistering, mainly on the front right edge of the wings, around the rear wheel arches, and lower panels (see pictures). These areas are easy to repair, and being white, it is straightforward to repaint. Underbody is clean and has recently been undersealed. Additionally, virtually all rubber seals have been replaced. The chrome work is bright and clean, and there are no dents in the bodywork.

  • General condition:

    The car drives smoothly with no issues, making it ready to be enjoyed as is, while any cosmetic imperfections can be addressed over time. With a wide range of new and used body parts readily available, future restoration will be straightforward and hassle-free.

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.
