Basic information and history

Here is a Swedish-sold Opel Olympia Rekord from 1958 in very good original condition. The odometer shows 80,000 km but it is highly likely that it has turned over at least once and it cannot be guaranteed by documentation. It is noticeable that the car has been preserved with great care and appears to be in very good condition.

The Olympia Rekord was one of Opel's most popular models during the 1950s and is characterised by its period design with rounded shapes and chrome details – a charming piece of automotive history from post-war Europe. The car is free of rust and external modifications, making this a rare well-preserved example.

Equipment and options

The equipment is simple, as befits a car from this era. There are contemporary details such as the original steering wheel, emblem strips and the body's original rims. No modern options or modifications have been added except for a more modern car stereo and speakers in the parcel shelf.

Condition

Body and exterior condition: The body is in very good condition without any dents, scratches or door cracks. The paint is free from stone chips and paint chips. The windows are also in very good condition without damage or discoloration. The chrome, moldings, headlight lenses and emblems have well-kept, normal wear for the age of the car. The body appears to have been repainted at some point but there is no information about when or by whom.

Interior: The interior is in very good condition with undamaged seats, door panels and dashboard. The only thing that detracts from the overall impression is the headliner – it is new, but poorly fitted. All controls, buttons and electronics work as they should – including the lighting.

Tires and rims: The rims are undamaged.

Mechanics and function: The engine is in good condition with no oil leaks and is completely original, as is the gearbox and drivetrain. The brakes are approved and the car is fully drivable with working mechanics throughout.

Service history

There is no service book and there are also no receipts or records from previous service events. What is known is that an oil change has recently been carried out on the engine, gearbox and brake system. The work was carried out by a previous owner.

Summary

Here we offer an unusually well-preserved Opel Olympia Rekord 1958 – a very nice example with an original feel, working mechanics and a well-maintained body. The car is free of rust and modifications, has a good exterior and interior condition, and is ready for both use and exhibition. With a simple adjustment of the interior roof, the overall impression is further enhanced. A vintage car with the right feel for the enthusiast looking for something authentic and period-typical.
