Description
This Opel Caravan was sold by Bilkompaniet in Lund in 1957 to Erik Granelli in Svedala. However, he wasn’t fond of the shade of blue, so he immediately had it repainted in a darker variant. In 1963, the car was bought by Hilda Olsson from Lövestad. She was very protective of her beautiful car and always stored it in a garage when not in use. Over the years, all servicing was handled by Kjells Bil & Traktor in Lövestad.
When she stopped driving in the early 1980s, he purchased the car from her, and it was stored decommissioned in a heated workshop for around 40 years before the current owner bought it in 2022. He has carefully performed a startup service, an inspection, and a polish of the paint. There was a small rust spot on the floor under the back seat that was welded.
The car is now road-ready and awaiting a new owner to take care of this gem.

Condition
-

The car runs excellently, and all mechanical components were inspected during the startup service.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in beautifully patinated original condition. The carpets are dry and crack easily, but otherwise, the interior remains untouched.
-
Exterior condition
The car was repainted in 1957, and the paint has held up well with few signs of wear. There is a small rust spot at the bottom of the left door.
-
General condition
A very rare car on our roads today, as rust has been difficult to keep at bay with these models. This is an example worth preserving for the future.

- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time.

- 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.
