Description
According to records in the vehicle registry, the Kadett requires a registration inspection, as it is only pre-registered—a common practice in the 1980s, often done while awaiting the completion of a restoration.
According to the Swedish Transport Agency, the car has had three registered owners, all within the same family. The current owner inherited the car from his father, a well-known entrepreneur and car enthusiast who owned several collector vehicles. The car has been part of the family collection since 1985 and has been used as a promotional vehicle. The heirs have now decided to sell the car and hope it will go to someone with more time to devote to it.
The car comes with a spare wheel (mounted externally at the rear). The original jack and instruction manual are missing. There is only one ignition key, and the functionality of the door locks is unknown.
This is a remote auction. The images and information regarding the car and its technical condition have been provided by the owner. BWA has therefore not conducted an on-site inspection.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with a 1.1-liter (1,074 cc) inline four-cylinder side-valve engine. Output was rated at 23 hp, and with the three-speed manual gearbox, the car was capable of speeds of around 90 km/h. It features hydraulic drum brakes and a 6-volt electrical system.
We do not know when the car was last started; it has been stationary for many years. It is known to have been driven in the early 1980s. No attempts have been made to start it prior to the auction. The owner has tried to turn the engine by hand, but the fan belt slipped on the pulley, resulting in an inconclusive outcome. Therefore, we do not know whether the engine turns freely or is seized.
The car is missing a starter battery and requires a full technical inspection and service before any attempt is made to start it. -
Interior condition
The interior was reupholstered in the 1980s. Some areas show damage, which we believe was caused by rodents while the car was stored in a garage. Please see the photos.
-
Exterior condition
Repainted in the early 1980s. The paintwork is of a simpler quality but has stood the test of time well. There is paint wear below the rear window and on the top of the right front fender—see photos.
It is fitted with 1960s cross-ply tires that have been equipped with new inner tubes. Hubcaps are missing. -
General condition
The car appears to have a solid body with older paintwork and an interior in usable condition. If the intention is simply to include it in a collection or display it in a museum, no work is required.
However, if you wish to drive it, you should expect to carry out a technical inspection of the brakes and drivetrain, along with general servicing and a registration inspection.

Owner's comment
Facts about the model
Production of the Kadett ceased in 1939 with the outbreak of World War II. After the war, the factory’s production lines were dismantled and transferred to the Soviet Union as war reparations. Press tools and a number of Opel Kadetts were moved from the factory in Rüsselsheim, despite it being located in the American occupation zone. In the Soviet Union, the Kadett was reborn after the war as the Moskvitch 400, and under this new name, production continued until 1956.
