Description
The car was registered in June 1965 but was first put on the road in October 1967. It remained in the same family in Västervik until 2023, with an ownership transfer within the family in August 1994. For the past 30 years, it has been used as a well-kept summer car and has only been driven about 8,000 km in the last 10 years.
Nearly 30 years ago, the car received an exterior refresh with new front fenders and a partial repaint in its original slate blue color. The car is complete and well-preserved in its unrestored original condition, but the paint below the waistline is not perfect (while the upper sections are in good condition). There are small cracks in the paint, particularly on the right rear fender, as well as scratches, stone chips, and touch-ups on the lower sections if inspected closely.
The overall condition, both inside and out, aligns well with the total mileage of 167,000 km (the odometer has rolled over once). Technically, the car is in excellent condition—everything works, it has been recently serviced, and it has new tires. A true pleasure to drive.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
A pleasant driving experience from a technical perspective. The steering is tight with no play. The engine runs smoothly. The clutch and gearbox feel good. Brakes work well.
Good heating and a functioning fan. No significant issues to note. -
Interior condition
The interior is complete and well-preserved. The seats, door panels, dashboard, and headliner are all original and in good condition. There is the usual crack in the dashboard upholstery (a new one costs 1,200 SEK). New floor mats have been installed.
The only remark is sun-bleached and cracked upholstery at the top of the rear seat—see photo. -
Exterior condition
Unrestored original condition with an older repaint that still looks good. Some touch-ups on the lower sections, but no damage.
-
General condition
The car looks great, in well-maintained, user-friendly condition, with no visible rust. It is also a pleasure to drive. A beautiful overall impression that sparks desire.
