Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily with a deep rumble, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. On recommendation, the owner has installed a rubber primer bulb from an outboard motor—essentially a manual fuel primer—to ensure the large carburetors receive sufficient fuel before startup. The engine delivers a fitting soundtrack, complemented by the gentle sway of the substantial body. The air conditioning has been removed, though the connecting hoses remain in the engine bay.
-
Interior condition
Original interior in fresh and well-maintained condition, with intact upholstery, door panels, and headliner. The carpet may have been replaced but follows the original pattern. There is a crack in the instrument glass, though a replacement—also marked in km/h—is included.
All power windows, including the vent windows and rear window, function well except for the left rear side window. A clicking sound can be heard from the relay or motor, indicating that power is at least reaching the unit. -
Exterior condition
Straight, clean, and rust-free. Older repaint with a slight shade difference on the roof. The car’s original color is silver metallic—code M-303-979. Chrome and bright trim are in good condition and show age appropriately, with some pitting in the cast metal and light patina on the chrome, but no dents or major damage. Minor surface rust on the window frames. Older tires with good tread.
-
General condition
The final flourish of the luxurious full-size land yachts—bigger and more extravagant than this, they never became. Its fine patinated condition invites enjoyable use, and while the owner isn’t certain how effective the cooling system is during long cruising nights, he has at least driven it to a few meets in Lysekil.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- 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.
