Description

This Opel, originally sold in Sweden, was first delivered to its owner in Taberg in 1957. It had two subsequent owners until the early 1970s when it received a new registration number, GEE180, replacing its original number, F42190. Under the GEE180 registration, it changed hands eight times. Since 1975, it has been sparingly driven and remarkably, has never had issues with rust.

The car underwent a complete engine overhaul and was repainted to high-quality standards in 1994, including the engine bay, along with the installation of new rubber seals. The brakes were renovated, and a new clutch was fitted in 2021. It boasts a rare two-tone original finish, with the roof still retaining its original paint.

The interior remains unaltered and is in good condition, featuring original carpets. There is a small crack in the driver's seat seam, which can be easily fixed. This car stands out due to its exceptional condition, retaining all the charm and flair of the 1950s, including a delightful clock mounted on the glove box lid. Full older documentation included "see pictures".

    The entire interior retains its original charm, complete with delightful bakelite knobs and switches, as well as an appealing instrument panel and dashboard, including the clock. The seats, door cards, and headliner are all in clean and well-kept condition, with the only notable issue being the mentioned cracked seam on the driver's seat. The original mats are a nice touch, and a light valet is all that's needed to make it even better.

    The bodywork is truly remarkable, displaying a straight and solid condition with no indications of damages, rust, or repairs. The underbody is clean and solid. Despite its repaint in 1994, the paintwork remains impressively clean and vibrant, with only minimal paint chips around the inner edges of the doors. The chrome work is exceptionally bright and clean, with only slight pitting noticeable on the front bumper. Additionally, it features a nice original extra light.
