Description

This lovely Rekord Coupé was initially registered in Jönköping County under the registration number F 11254. However, in August 1966, Mjölby workshop owner Karlsson purchased the car. The car was assigned the licence plate E 14524. Karlsson, the workshop owner, must have enjoyed his Opel. He kept it till 1993. The car has been in the Kisa car museum since 1996, with just two owners since new. The odometer reads 1178 kilometres but more like 101,178km. Despite some critique, see below, the car appears to be well-kept, robust, and authentic.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Fitted with Opel's four-cylinder 1700 cc engine of 66 hp and 4-speed gearbox. Two-circuit braking system. The car was last driven in 2012, but now does not want to start without an external fuel supply. A new 6 volt car battery is fitted and the starter motor pulls around the engine nicely when you turn the key. After many years of downtime at the museum, a service of the fuel system is needed before it starts. The car has a new rear exhaust system.

  • Interior condition:

    The car has the distinct Opel aroma. It's difficult to describe, but every true Opel aficionado understands what a 1960s Opel smells like. Something about the combination of vinyl, cloth, and headliner in stretched woven plastic in the light on a summer day gives out a nostalgic aroma.
    The cloth and vinyl interior are in good shape. The driver's seat, on the other hand, is a touch worse, with faded fabric and holes in the upholstery. Door cards that are somewhat wavy. Beautiful headliner.

  • Exterior condition:

    The body is straight and good, with part of the original paint remaining. Front wings, left door, and other parts have been repainted. The colour varies somewhat in various areas. The repainting on the left front wing is significantly less satisfactory. There are some dry rubber seals on the car. Fine underbody with rust prevention treatment. On the right side, there is some surface corrosion along the edge of the wing.

  • General condition:

    In great untouched original condition. Begin with a starter service and a brake inspection. Then enjoy a wonderful unrenovated car that is clean and neat as is. A fantastic starting point for a rolling renovation.

Facts about the model

Opel Rekord A byggdes 1963 till 1964. Coupe´modellen är den mest vackra och eftertraktade, med sina långa svepande linjer och långt överhäng baktill. Klart USA inspirerad design. Idag ycket sällsynt bil. Här ett bra exemplar att köra som den är eller renovera till toppskick.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
