Description

Nice unrestored Opel Rekord that has been in the same family since new. Here is the story of the car, told by a relative. In 1956, when Pertti Gustavsson in Ullared turned 18, he got his driver's license. His mother then thought he must have a car. He had to choose for himself and it was the Opel Rekord 1956. The purchase was made at AB Bröderna Modin in Varberg. The original invoice and receipt remain. The purchase price was 8,167.50kr Which included, among other things, undercarriage treatment, nameplate and tax receipt holder. (Pertti is still the owner today and it is for his estate that the car is being sold). Pertti then studied engineering in Borås and used the car to drive between his home and Borås on weekends. He later worked in Germany, among other things, at the WV factory. The Opel came with him to Germany. After a few years, his mother thought that in her older days it was time for her to get a driver's license. She drove the Opel and did not want to drive any other car. When she passed her driver's test, she said that Pertti had to get a new car so she could keep her favourite car. The new car was a Volvo PV Sport, which Pertti had for many years and the Opel was put aside in 1994. Pertti was the owner all those years. This is confirmed by the fact that the registration certificate states that the car had two owners, including the car dealer. However, it says that the date of acquisition is 1980-02-11, which may be because it was only then included in the new car register (the car was parked in 1973-1980). The damage on a door was caused when the car was in the workshop and the workshop owner accidentally backed into it. As I recall, the damage was repaired and the paint repair was done provisionally as the idea was that the car would be fully painted in the long run. In 1994, as I said, the car was put away in a barn and has now been put up for sale when Pertti passed away this spring.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has not been driven since 1994 and has not been started over the last 15 years, which is why the engine is seized in the cylinder bores. Needs repair/renovation. The brakes also need attention. Everything else looks good. The battery is missing.

  • Interior condition:

    Complete and nice interior. Normal wear for 150,000 km

  • Exterior condition:

    Complete and nice bodywork. There are some small blisters and surface rust as well as oxidation on the chrome details. Needs a polish so it will be nice again.
    A few bodywork repairs are located underneath (looks perfectly fine), but otherwise no serious rust damages.

  • General condition:

    A rare fine Opel record that is well worth servicing and fixing the engine to get it back on the road. Sold as a renovation project..

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
