Condition

The car is described by the current owner as being in good working condition. No modifications have been made. Renovation has been carried out for close to SEK 65,000 when the drive shaft came off and the left rear wheel took the screen with it. Everything is new and changed under the molding from the door to the back. This work is documented. The body is free of boring damage such as door hinges, worse scratches or dents. The paint has, among other things, small marks, slips and some bubbles on the door, but is stainless. Glass panes are in OK condition. The chrome has its wear and tear.

The interior is described as being in very good condition. Sofas and its materials are without damage and worse wear, but there are some stains and dirt in the leather at the top of the driver's seat. Inner doors are in good condition without the usual wear and tear from stepping in and out, however some wear on the front lower edge of the driver's door. Buttons, controls and instruments are in good original condition for their age. A stereo with two speakers has been installed. The inner ceiling is in very good condition. All functions in the passenger compartment work as they should.

The engine is described by the current owner as running well. It has not been modified or tuned and the four-speed automatic is in good condition as well. New drums were installed in 2019. All mechanics work as they should.
