"The car is in good condition and it is obvious that it is kept indoors practically all of the time. Natural wear and non renovated. It runs well but needs its final inspection/MOT."

Description

A lovely and adorable 1955 Opel Rekord Olympia. A car that has never had a significant renovation, merely routine maintenance and repairs. The odometer reads 64490 km. It has most likely completed one circuit (to 164,490 km). However, in this scenario, it does not feel as significant. The car, which works very well in the engine and transmission, retains its working condition charm, and the exterior and interior are in exceptional fine condition.

Kisa car museum's collections on display since 1999. Its had 4  users and was  inspected/Mot in 2021 and received few minor remarks that were sadly not rectified. As a vintage car, it is exempt from inspection and requires only one final certified examination. Genuine jack and tool set. The "RKN harness 4 point seat belt" is a kind of modern design.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    It has a 1500cc engine with 52 horsepower and a 3-speed transmission. It starts and runs perfectly. Distinctive and effective gear positions T he column gear shift has a tendency to become sloppy. A new 6 volt car battery has been installed. The car got comments concerning uneven braking effect after its most recent inspection in 2021. Before the car test, a simple service and brake inspection are required. For increased comfort, contemporary radial tyres have been fitted. On the spare wheel, there is a diagonal tyre.

  • Interior condition:

    The original interior is in fair shape, although the driver's seat has wear. Holes in the right top border of the rear seat, and wear on the driver's seat back. There are some moisture stains on the back seat. Nice headliner, however it's a little loose at the c-posts. Original worn rubber matting Blaupunkt radio is included. Excellent baggage space. The cover shown in some photos comes with the car.

  • Exterior condition:

    Painting is mostly original. Some panels have been repainted under the mouldings. After 67 years, the paint has cracked, marks from stone chips, minor damage, and natural wear. The engine compartment was brush-painted in several parts with thick paint. A little rust spot on the bumpers. Fine shiny trims with no minor flaws . Rubber seals that are somewhat dry at the door apertures We got good-to-know information concerning a slight rust corrosion on the left crossbar at the previous check in 2021. Several anti-corrosion treatments have been performed on the car's chassis throughout the years. This has aided in keeping the body in good condition.

  • General condition:

    Beautiful car with wonderful detailing. It's fun to drive. The uneven braking effect must be corrected before the car ican be driven properly.

Facts about the model

1953 presenterade Opel sin stora nyhet, nämligen Opel Olympia Rekord. Med sin moderna pontonkaross var den något helt annat än Opels förkrigsmodeller. Den kom som efterföljare till gamla Olympia som funnits med sedan 1935. Olympia Rekord med sina nerskalade GM-linjer från USA byggdes fram till 1957 och hade en fyrcylindrig radmotor och treväxlad manuell växellåda. Olympia Rekord fanns som tvådörrars sedan, kombi och cabriolet. 1955 gjordes en mild Facelift med aningen större bakruta och ny grill. Enligt uppgifter från Transportstyrelsen finns det i dag 310 stycken registrerade Opel Olympia Rekord 1953-1957 i Sverige, så du lär inte möta många likadana ute i sommartrafiken.
