Description
The car remained unused for 24 years, and in May 1986, the wife put it back on the road and had it inspected. Necessary maintenance was done, including oil changes, brake work, a new battery, and new tires.
Between 1986 and 1994, the wife had the car inspected every year and only drove it for a total of 2530 kilometers during this period. Inspection records are available. On September 1, 1994, the daughter inherited the car with the intention of using it as a summer car at the summer house. However, on December 10, 1998, she sold the car to a neighbor, and at that time, the car had 16380 kilometers on the odometer.
The car was parked and not used after the year 2000, remaining unused for various periods over 47 years. The current owner purchased the car when it had 17010 kilometers on the odometer.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
No issues to report; the car starts effortlessly with a pleasing engine sound, smooth gear shifting, and reliable brakes. Like many older cars, it requires proper warm-up for optimal performance. As mentioned, extensive work has been done, and it now enjoys a lifetime exemption from inspections. With new tires and freshly painted wheels, it's in excellent condition.
-
Interior condition
The entire interior remains in its original state and is remarkably well-preserved, appearing almost new. There are only slight indications of wear, and no damages are present. If we were to mention any drawbacks, it would be that the original rubber floor mat in the rear has some stains, and there are a few marks on the headliner near the rear window, as shown in the pictures. Overall, stepping inside feels like entering a well-preserved time capsule.
-
Exterior condition
The bodywork of this car has never undergone any repairs, damage, or rust restoration – it's all original. The body remains straight, with only one small dent on the front left wing and another on the left rear panel near the window, as shown in the pictures. Underneath, it's solid, showing no signs of welding, just a few small surface rust spots.
The original paintwork retains a slightly matte finish with surface blister dots around the top edges of the body panels. Many of these marks can be removed with polishing and detailing. While there are signs of age and patina, nothing is prominent or rusty; it's a testament to its originality. -
General condition
Discovering a car with such a rich history, low mileage, and untouched original condition is a rarity. Maintaining its authenticity through careful cleaning, polishing, and a protective waxing would be the ideal approach.
