"It feels and smells original in all the details it’s an incredibly nice car."

Description

The car was bought new by wealthy tobacconist Georges Russel Linn in Bonavista, Virginia, USA. Upon his death in 1984, a niece inherited the car and it was put in a barn. There it stood until 2009 when the current Swedish owner bought the car and he has had it ever since.
The car is in original condition. It's been driven 100,000 miles with its lovely 331 engine with 4-speed Dynaflow box (same as sat in the Sherman tanks from World War II)

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    When the current Swedish owner came to the USA in 2009 to see the car, he wanted to start up the engine after the car was in a barn for 25 years! With a fresh battery and new petrol, it started right away. The engine is completely original and non-renovated. It was disassembled about 10 years ago when an engine specialist found that it was in perfect condition. He cleaned and sharpened valves and changed seals and gaskets. Since 2009 the car has received a hefty service every year since.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in top condition with new interior fitted in 2009 completely made in accordance with the original design by a specialist. In the same year, the cab was prepared with new fabric and chrome plating of the frame.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car was repainted by a specialist in 2010, and it looks like the work was done this year. The underbody was sanded down and then painted with a 2-component paint.

  • General condition:

    An original car in top condition that’s been cared for with genuine love.
    There are lots of documentation and receipts from the car's history.
