"This car starts and requires a bit more choke until it reaches operational temperature. Additionally, the fuel tank system might benefit from a cleaning, and an extra fuel filter has been fitted. Regular usage might also be helpful. Notably, the car has been fitted with new white wall tires, had its brakes renovated, and is exempt from inspection/MOT for life."

Description

This Swedish-sold car has had a total of 11 owners since new. By reviewing older inspection reports dating back to 1975, it was last inspected in Norrköping with a mileage of 57,849 km. Subsequently, it spent some time in the Jonköping area. The car comes with a collection of older inspection reports. From 1999 onwards, the mileage recorded was 70,635 km, and as of today, it stands at 71,663 km, indicating minimal usage over the past 24 years. The previous owner drove the car 40 km to our depot, where it performed well. However, it is advisable to consider cleaning the fuel system and tank, especially since we recently replaced the additional fuel filter due to contamination, which could explain why it requires a bit more choke until it reaches proper operating temperature.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As previously mentioned, addressing the cleaning of the fuel system and tank, as well as potentially making a slight brake adjustment for improved responsiveness, should help enhance the car's performance. With more regular use and less time spent in the garage, this car should continue to improve. It's worth noting that a newer ignition key and barrel have recently been replaced, and the car is equipped with new white tires and sturdy wheels.

  • Interior condition:

    The car's interior is complete but shows signs of age-related wear and marks. The driver's seat has noticeable damage, as seen in the pictures. It has newer rubber mats and a headliner. The door cards are slightly worn and bent at the lower edges. The dashboard is complete but has some worn paint. The instrumentation works, but the fuel gauge reading is incorrect, and the steering wheel has cracks in places.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's body is generally straight but shows signs of aging. It has undergone renovation in the past, including the replacement of metal front and rear wings with plastic ones. The repaint, while okay, exhibits wear and marks in places. Chrome details are complete but show rust on the front and rear bumpers, along with dry rubber seals in spots. The underbody is clean and free of issues.

  • General condition:

    This car is ideal for someone looking to purchase a classic PV to enjoy as it is, with the option to gradually address cosmetic issues over time. While there's nothing urgent, there's room for improvement if desired.

  • 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.
