Description

This car was originally sold in Sweden and, according to older registration paperwork, had eight owners between 1953 and 1963. During that time, it spent its life in the salt-free northern region near Härnösand. What happened afterward is unknown, as it eventually dropped out of the Swedish registration system. The current owner bought it a few years ago; it had been renovated and repainted but was not registered and required some service work to be inspection-ready.

Needing garage space, the owner decided to fix the car, giving it a general review, servicing it, and repairing the brakes. This work was completed a few weeks ago, and the car passed its final inspection and was re-registered. The car runs and drives well, as shown in the film, but it may need minor adjustments after driving a few hundred kilometers, as it has only been driven 20-30 kilometers since being put back on the road.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts right up but is a little noisy; however, it runs smoothly. The gearbox functions well but may take a few minutes to get used to. It drives fine with good brakes and no issues to note. It's a simple car that will likely need some fine-tuning after driving a few hundred kilometers. It features nice red steel wheels with vintage Fiat hubcaps and older tires. The car is exempt from inspection forever.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean, tidy, and well-maintained, considering it's over 70 years old. The seats appear to have been reupholstered and show only a few minor marks. The seat carpets are in good condition, and the storage area behind the seats is clean. The door cards and rubber mats are also in good shape. The dashboard is simple, with some patina and the original gauges have some fogginess.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with no dents or visible rust issues and features a clean underbody with some signs of older welding work. It has been repainted and presents well, though there are a few small paint runs and some orange peel in places (see pictures). The roof opens and closes smoothly, with some repairs to the front edges. The rear window is cracked and foggy; a new roof would be a simple and cost-effective fix.

  • General condition:

    This charming car draws a lot of attention and is simple and inexpensive to own and run. The cosmetic issues are subtle and not noticeable unless inspected closely. The roof functions but replacing it would be a worthwhile future investment.
