"It's a fun car to bring back to life. Its unusually well-kept body and interior make it a relatively easy project. Parts are easily obtained from English, except for the engine, it is complete."

Description

The car was stored many years ago by a VW collector in Kumla, who found it in a barn after the engine broke down in the early 1970s. Tough model with excellent craftsmanship in all details and the interior. The model was built in various designs from 1947 to 1963, before the company was acquired by the Triumph Group and the brand was discontinued. The car was available with both a gasoline and a diesel engine (the first English car that could be ordered with a diesel engine actually) Ferguson's tractor used the same diesel engine.
There is no rust damage or noticeable dents on the body. The chrome is nice. The car has been rust-proofed. The old registration number R22331 is still in use, which means it can be registered again. Sold as a project car or spare part car. If you don't want to build originals, it could be a hot rod. There are numerous opportunities for this car.

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.
