"Nice and well-maintained car that has been renovated for more than 50,000kr. It runs and drives well and has been driven infrequently in recent years so a service is suggested."

Description

The owner's son renovated it for around 50,000kr and gave it to this father for his birthday in 2017 because he previously owned one. With its massive Rolls Royce grill, foldable rear seat table, and roll back roof, it was marketed to the upper middle class in Sweden. The renovation took approximately 250 hours and included welding the floors, new leather seats, roof, carpets, brakes, engine review, clutch, and many other minor repairs. When the car was completed, it passed its final inspection/MOT with no issues. It was a cross-over model, so it had a 1275cc double carbuettor engine and front disc brakes, just like its brother, the Mini Cooper. The car comes with a lot of older paperwork and the original sales brochure, and the owner is only selling it because he doesn't have enough garage space.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    It is free of inspections/MOTs for the rest of its life and runs and drives well, with good brakes and gear changes. It hasn't been driven much in the last few years, so it's due for a service and light check. The mileage is at least 90000 kilometers.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is spotless, with like new leather seats and wood trim, as well as a nice rollback roof and clean carpet.

  • Exterior condition

    The paintwork is mostly original, but it was most likely partly repainted many years ago. It has a dent in the rear bumper, slightly discolored trim on the sills, and a few touchups and blisters here and there. Overall, it gives the impression of being clean, tidy, and straight in the body work.

  • General condition

    This is a very simple car to own and maintain in your garage; parts are inexpensive and easy to come by. It's ideal for someone looking for a low-cost classic car.

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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
