"An attention-seeking car for the enthusiast who wants to be seen."

Description

The car was last inspected 27 years ago. During this time it has changed owners a few times. The current owner has renovated the brakes, including new discs, new brake pipes with brake master cylinder, and new drums and cylinders. It also has new rear tyres. The electrics have been reviewed and fixed with fitted indicators, windscreen washer and working pop up lights.
What remains to be done for inspection is an motor service. The doors also need to be adjusted at the hinges for aesthetic reasons, not for inspection because they work and lock. However, the car has been inspected before in this condition. The paintwork needs a polish and the interior spruced up. According to the seller, the transmission works well with short tight shifts, it has the conversion kit that was for rally and racing use, and the engine runs well but needs some revs when pulling away.

Most likely this was built in 1986.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine works but runs a bit rough and needs a tune up to make it work correctly including an oil change. According to the seller, the gearbox works well.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior needs to be spruced up, see pictures. With a little tinkering and care it can be nice.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork is pale and dull and should be polished with coloured wax. The doors also need to be adjusted at the hinges, but they work and lock. New rear tyres.

  • General condition:

    A good hobby project that starts and runs but needs start-up service and a inspection/MOT. Runs a little unevenly when cold. The last inspection was in 1995.

Facts about the model

Svenharry Åkesson, känd bilbyggare från Skåne, konstruerade en sportbil byggd på ett Volkswagen 1600 chassie som blev klar 1983. Den var från början tänkt till sin sons artonårsdag. Efter att bilen visats upp på en kitcar-utställning i Uppsala blev intresset så stort att Svenharry bildade företaget Plastinova för att vidareutveckla och tillverka karosser samt anpassade chassien. Serieproduktionen resulterade i 330 karosser och 20 chassien. Karossen gick att få med på Volkswagenchassie eller en stålkonstruktion. Stålchassiet anpassades så småningom för att möjliggöra användandet av en mittmotor. Det fanns även en möjlighet att montera en mindre och lättare V8 i den. Hur många som blev färdigbyggda vet vi inte.
Ännu en, numera känd bilkonstruktör, Christian von Koenigsegg, lär i mitten på 1990-talet upptäckt möjligheterna med Svenharrys väl konstruerade mittmotorchassie. De ska då ha använt ett sådant chassie till sin första prototyp.
