"This eye-catching color combination of dark grey with a red interior truly stands out. The car has undergone a full renovation, both in bodywork and mechanicals, completed over 10 years ago but has been driven only sparingly since. It runs and drives well, with the engine, gearbox, and brakes performing smoothly. However, the water pump squeaks, and a new replacement is included. The car is also inspection-exempt indefinitely."

Description

The owner purchased the car in 1989, and it was in running condition at the time. According to the previous owner, who had it since new, the car had driven around the clock three times. A decision was made to fully renovate the car, with the restoration completed in the late 1990s over a 10-year period, as shown in the attached photos. The renovation involved stripping the bodywork to bare metal, repairing it, fitting new front wings, and applying a full repaint. The engine was also overhauled, with new cam bearings, piston rings, and all worn auxiliary parts replaced.

Over 20 years later, the car remains in great condition, needing only a few minor cosmetic repairs, primarily on the boot lid (see pictures). The owner is selling due to illness and infrequent use.

The car comes with extensive documentation, including the original registration papers, old receipts, and inspection reports.2

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts immediately, and the engine runs smoothly. The water pump needs replacement, but a new one is included. The gearbox shifts well, the brakes are effective, and the car handles nicely. Both the engine bay and boot space are clean and tidy. It features nice wheels, chrome hubcaps, and good white-wall tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean and very presentable with its red finish. The seats are in good condition, though the passenger seat has a rip and the driver's seat has a small loose seam (see pictures). The rear seats are nice, and the headliner, mats, and door cards are all in good shape. The dashboard and instrumentation are also in good condition, though the vinyl dashboard pad has some cracks. Seats can be easily repaired, or replacements are available from VP Parts.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with good panel alignment and no dents or damage. The boot lid needs some adjustment for better alignment. The underbody is clean and tidy, with a new exhaust system recently fitted. The paintwork is presentable with a few small scratches. There is a paint crack near the 544 logo on the boot lid and a small blister on the front wing, both of which are easy to fix. The chrome work is bright and clean, with minor signs of oxidation, and there is some dry rubber on the sill steps.

  • General condition:

    This great-looking car only needs the water pump replaced. The cosmetic issues are minor, don’t stand out, and are simple to repair. It also comes with a great history.

  • 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.
