"In this high-end renovation, everything is verified and working, including the one-of-a-kind tipper. There are no repairs required; it is completely ready to use. It is necessary to have a class C driver's license."

Description

Heavy truck that began its life as a military vehicles in the Swedish defensive forces during World War II.
It was sold to Duvedal's brickworks in Kalvsvik after the war, and it hauled bricks and clay to the Växjö building site. It was used to deliver firewood in the winter.
In 1950, it was assumed that the truck had served its purpose, therefore it was parked in the vicinity and left to rot.

It was left there until 1986, when John Åke Franzén took care of it and transferred it to his workshop after careful deliberation. The truck was dismantled into components and renovation work began; however, several pieces were missing, necessitating a spare part search. It took him less than two years of meticulous effort to get the truck in this condition, so it was registered and put back on the road in 1988.

However, because it has been used rarely over the years, it still looks as good now as it did over 35 years ago. Classic Motor Album no. 10 has a great article about the truck.

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.
