"The ideal condition for an Opel enthusiast with a passion for the 1950s who just wants to nurture and drive."

Description

It was delivered new in Sweden in 1951 and was most likely renovated in the 1980s. The current owner's father purchased the Kaptain from a coworker in 1995 and has since used, cared for, and maintained it. Drove a bridal couple, went on dates, and so forth. After 2010, the car mostly garaged and was only taken to the inspection a handful of times. The last inspection has been approved in the summer of 2021 and is thus exempt from inspection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Starts easily, runs smoothly in the engine and transmission, and has a wonderful mechanical feel. The brakes work as they do in a 1950s car, and they work evenly. The clutch slips somewhat, most likely because the car needs to be driven more.

  • Interior condition

    Gray and attractive cloth upholstery with slight worn marks here and there. Good door cards and patina headliner.

  • Exterior condition

    Original Opel colour is stylish and solid, with fine chrome on bumpers and details. Good fit on the doors and trunk, and fun with the rear-hung "suicide doors." Small rust bubbles on the passenger door threshold. Nice tyres and chrome hub caps; the steel rims might be repainted to look better.

  • General condition

    Cool and ready-to-drive old Opel with that wonderful, slightly incongruous sense of luxury in a car from that manufacturer.

Facts about the model

Kapitän var den sista modellen Opel konstruerade före andra världskriget. Den premiärvisades på bilsalongen i Genève 1939. Bilen fanns i både täckt och öppet utförande och produktionen avbröts i slutet av 1940. Efter kriget återupptogs produktionen 1948, men då endast med fyrdörrars sedan-kaross. 1951 kom en vidareutvecklad version med ett utbyggt bagageutrymme och en starkare motor. Det här exemplaret är just en sådan version.

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.
