"It was a futurist automobile in the 1980s and it is today, with its Jeep/Range Rover design elements. In any case, it is in good shape and was recently driven 130 kilometers to our depot by its owner."

Description

As a new car, it was likely meant to become a collector's car, with few produced, few sold in our country, and an old essential construction but still with a fresh style of thinking and observed by current media. This copy was supposedly sold in Sweden by General Agent Philipsson as a 1980 model and has been maintained for and driven as an enthusiast car by the same owner since 1984 until 2020. As a kite pilot, the prior owner embodied the marketing target group; transportation to fast-paced activities. He also travelled with the Rancho to Italy and France, where he met other liked minded adventurers. On the hood is also a little placard saying another well-known Latin proverb "Volare necesse est," which means "it is required to fly."

The mileage is currently 15674 km, however it has travelled at least 115674 kilometers today.

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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
