"A nice VW oval in good condition for a renovation project, and will make a nice collector's car and future investment for someone."

Description

This is a special economy model that was not imported into Sweden normally. It was slightly lower equipped with manual brakes, no chrome trim around the window, etc.
The car was imported in 1962 by music director Adolf Schmidt in Karlshamn, and he drove up until the late 60's when the current owner bought it as his first car. He drove it daily until he started his military service in 1972 parked it in the barn where it’s stood for the past 48 years

    Partially reupholstered interior, original seats are complete but need cleaning.

  • Exterior condition:

    Probably repainted in the 60's the paint work is flaking and some surface rust is found. Chrome work is poor and footsteps are bad.

  • General condition:

    A good item for renovation that has been in a dry barn for almost 50 years requires some jobs this winter and can become a nice 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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
