"These older Mercedes models have bulletproof engines, but unfortunately, all tend to suffer from rust issues. This one will need bodywork repairs, making it a perfect winter project. The best part is that it’s inspection-exempt."

Description

This car is one of several Mercedes models being offered in this auction on behalf of the owner’s estate. Additional information has been provided by Per Ask, a Mercedes specialist who personally knew both the owner and the cars.

The car was registered in Sweden in October 1973. Mr Lycke acquired the car on 4 June 1993 from Per Sjölund in Nyköping, who had owned it since 1990.

The odometer currently shows 79,630 km, and at the 2014 inspection it read 53,560 km. I have been in contact with Per Sjölund, who confirms that the car was in very good condition when Mr. Lycke acquired it in 1993 and that the total mileage at that time was well under 100,000 km. It is therefore assessed that the car has covered a total of approximately 79,000 km.

The car is equipped with a 2.3-litre four-cylinder carbureted engine producing 110 DIN horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox.

The car’s condition has suffered from being stored outdoors for an extended period and not driven for many years. We have managed to start the car and it runs and drives but will require a full review.

It is finished in white with a brown-blue textile interior, which is complete and in generally good condition. The bodywork, however, is in poor overall condition, although the front wings appear to be in fair shape. There is rust in several areas, along with corrosion in the floor panels and doors. The bumpers and most of the chrome trim are in good condition.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    This car was in running condition and passed its last inspection in 2022. Since then, it has barely been driven. We have managed to start the engine, and it runs, drives, and the brakes function, but it will need a full review and service before being properly driven on the road. It comes with a good set of wheels and hubcaps, fitted with older tyres.

  • Interior condition:

    Brown vinyl and textile interior, complete but with small tears on the driver’s and passenger seats. The remaining seats are in good condition, as are the carpets, door cards, and headliner. The dashboard is complete and in good condition, though the radio and a few door handles and window winders are missing. A box of chrome parts is included in the boot.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork shows rust issues in several areas, mainly around the lower panels, with signs of older repair work visible in places (see pictures). The paintwork is worn and partly repainted, and the underbody also shows some rust in spots. Chrome trim all around is generally in good condition.

  • General condition:

    You have a few options: one is to renovate it and repair the rust issues — the positive side is that it runs and is inspection-exempt. Alternatively, it could serve as a donor vehicle or a solid base for another project.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
