Description

This pickup was sold in Sweden and has only had four registered owners, originally sold by VW Bil and Maskin, spending most of its life in Småland. Despite being a commercial vehicle, it had an easier life under its first two owners from 1988 to 2019, followed by the third owner until the current owner purchased it in 2022. The pickup was in solid condition, with minor repairs done around the wings, and it has been fully repainted. It has been lowered a few inches and fitted with black alloy wheels, giving it a cooler stance.

The pickup bed is clean and tidy, protected with diamond plate and featuring a robust bulkhead frame. The interior is original, very well kept, and undamaged, while the bodywork and underbody show no signs of rust or damage.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts immediately and runs smoothly with a powerful engine. It’s easy to drive, featuring simple gear shifts, good brakes, and good road handling. The owner has serviced and repaired it as needed, and it was recently fitted with a new alternator. There are no issues or remarks—it's ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is remarkably nice, showing how it has had an easier life. Both seats are in good condition, with an armrest fitted for the driver. The headliner, door cards, and rubber mats are all clean. The dashboard is undamaged and features original gauges and instrumentation—simple yet practical.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork looks great, featuring straight panels with no rust issues, except for a small dent on the left rear arch. Even under the drop-side panel storage beneath the bed, it is clean. The underbody is also tidy and well-maintained, with no damage or rust. The bumpers are nice and clean all around, and the paint looks excellent, with only minor chips and marks.

  • General condition:

    This cool-looking pickup is super practical and will stand out at any VW meeting. With these vehicles becoming increasingly rare on the roads today, they are highly sought after. The last one I saw at a VW meeting had a pop-up tent box fitted on the bed, showcasing the endless options for customization.
