"Well-preserved and good-looking, with a remarkably pleasant engine and gearbox from its time. And with all the parts included, this is a truly good-value auction item, to say the least."

Description

It was delivered new in Sweden in August 1968. If the stamp on the sales brochure is correct, it was in Vänersborg — though that brochure could also be something the owner had in his extensive collection of materials. The collection also includes, for example, a neat and untouched press kit for motoring journalists from the 1967 presentation, and a reprint from SE magazine’s 1969 test drive, where the cheerful CG Hammarlund together with the future editor-in-chief of Teknikens Värld, Åke Borglund, examined the model in a typical period fashion.

The current owner (the estate) bought the car back in 1994 and has over the years cared for it, had it repainted, bought numerous parts, and collected a large amount of documentation. A filled-in driving log from the purchase in 1994 up to 66,500 km in 1999 adds a nice touch of history and curiosity. The last page says, in pencil, “July 2006,” though the mileage doesn’t quite match — it says 64,600 compared to the last 1999 entry. Possibly a typo that should read 66,600, since the car doesn’t appear to have been used much since then.

The latest (and last) approved inspection was carried out on October 15, 2019, at 67,070 km, and the car has since covered 1,930 km to its current reading of 69,008 km. Another timing belt replacement was done quite recently — it had been booked by the owner before he passed away.

Included with the car is a large number of spare parts, listed below. On their own, these parts may well be worth SEK 30,000–40,000 or more — something to keep in mind when bidding. The estate has chosen to sell everything together so that nothing belonging to this particular car is separated.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Twin-cam engine with a lively and pleasant character, and a five-speed gearbox with a precise and satisfying gear feel — all in a small, affordable 1960s coupé that has a charm of its own, complemented by good disc brakes all around. At the time, this was advanced engineering in a sporty car offered at a competitive price. The timing belt was recently replaced.

  • Interior condition:

    Neat and tidy, with good interior, carpets, door panels, and headlining. A small part of the seam on the driver’s seat cushion has come undone. Among the spare parts is an extra set of front seats, reportedly reupholstered in black leather.

  • Exterior condition:

    Older, good-quality repaint with touch-ups on the left door, apparently after a repair. In direct sunlight, the color differences are visible, but much less so in softer light. The sill trims are not installed. Fitted with newer Michelin vintage tires on nice original 13" Cromodora alloy wheels, including the spare. The large spare parts package also includes two extra Cromodora wheels and four unrestored original steel wheels with hubcaps.

  • General condition:

    Perhaps the mileage shown on the odometer — 69,000 km — is the real one, and not 100,000 more. That can’t be verified at this point, but with some research in the archives it might well be possible. In any case, the car gives a pleasant and enjoyable overall impression, with the delightful engine being a key part of its character.

Facts about the model

The Fiat 124 Sport Coupé was produced between 1967 and 1975 in three generations, and the auction car is from the first generation, built between 1967 and 1969. The 1.5-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine produces 90 hp, and together with a five-speed manual gearbox it’s easy to keep the engine in the right rev range at all times. The car features a multi-link rear axle with disc brakes all around, and its engine was one of the first mass-produced units to use a timing belt.

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.
