"An old renovation that has held up well and a worry-free car."

Description

The car was delivered new in 1950 and its earlier history is unknown. So we start in 1968 when the current owner's uncle acquired it. In the early seventies, the car was renovated and was then used on some vintage car rallies and similar excursions. In 1995, it was given as a fiftieth birthday present to the nephew, who has taken care of the car since then. During those years, the car has been sparingly used and always kept in a warm garage.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs well, the engine sounds nice and has not been a major concern for almost three decades. During that time, a few small things that arose have been fixed. The alternator and starter motor have been refurbished. There is a little oil leak which probably comes from the valve cover gasket. The car has been used relatively little in the last 10-15 years and an overhaul of rubber parts and seals may be in order. A substantial circuit breaker is mounted in the engine compartment.

  • Interior condition:

    Seats and door cards were reupholstered during the renovation in original material and still look very nice. The interior roof is faultless but not completely original. Likewise, the armrests in the doors are in a slightly different colour. Inside, it is a valet away from being in top condition. However, the car's body details were not repainted at that time. Later, the floor drains have been repainted for better protection. The rubber mats on the floor are in very good condition. The boot paintwork and surfaces are a little worn, but there is no rust or damage. Dual spare tires and the original jack is in place.

  • Exterior condition:

    Painted about 50 years ago according to the standard of the time. Cellulose paint has aged normally and picked up some scratches that can be expected for over half a century. During the renovation, the thresholds have been mended, which can be seen. The body, doors, and chassis are in very good condition. Chrome and bright parts are very nice. The bumpers were painted with primer inside and have no signs of rust anywhere. Some rubber parts have become dry and brittle over the years.

  • General condition:

    A very good used condition with just the right patina. Everything is perfectly fine and well preserved. Great to drive as is or easily restore to top condition.

  • 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.
