"A very beautiful and fresh car. Works fine but may need a service as it has not been run in recent years."

Description

The car is sold for the owner's estate. The owner was a blacksmith and mechanic living outside Husqvarna and had a particularly great interest in classic English cars. The car is sold as the garage is needed for something else. Completely renovated during the years 2001-2004 with a very good end result. After this, the car has been used for vintage rallies and car meetings when the owner was active in northern Småland's sports and veteran car club.

The owner bought the car in the late 1990s. The car had then been parked for more than 20 years and fallen out of the car register. When he retired, he dismantled the car and blasted, repaired and epoxy-primed the body. Then he prepared the chassis and engine (the engine has been renovated). After this it had new paint, rust protection treatment and then assembly. 2004, at the end of July it was time for registration inspection and since then the car has been used. The meter reading is 33000 km and we assume that it will be 133,000 km as the meter has probably gone around one lap.

The car starts easily and feels good on the road. We can point out a few small blisters on the chrome and two small blisters in the paint on the vent door in front of the windshield, see picture, and one on the left rear wing, (these are barely visible). Very luxurious interior with wood panels and leather upholstery. You travel with dignity and elegance in this car.

    Complete and nice original interior with new headliner, trim and carpets. Dashboard and door cards original. Front seat upholstered in grey leather. Beautiful fresh decor

    Nice body and paint. The whole floor and the underbody look like new. Nice in every detail. Possibly we can point out that the front doors (or the trim on the doors are in need of some adjustment as the edges do not completely follow the car's line). Tiny paint blisters on the ventilation hatch in front of the window and a small blister on the left rear wing. Some dots on chrome bumpers and trim. Pictures from the renovation are included .
    Very carefully renovated car.

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