Description
When Nielsen passed away a little over a year ago, two car-enthusiastic international engineers — who both work at Volvo Trucks — purchased the vehicle at the estate auction. As a hobby, they enjoy using their technical expertise to bring older, dormant cars back to life.
Among other things, they replaced the speedometer gear driving the odometer, which had shown the same reading at inspections for at least the past 12–13 years. When the odometer stopped working, it had likely just rolled over once, meaning the car has covered just under 120,000 km.
The most recent and final approved inspection was carried out on May 10, 2022.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The current owners have, of course, carried out a general service but have also repaired the odometer, which had been non-functional since at least 2012 according to records and inspection documentation. In addition, they have installed new wiring, including for the headlights. In the video, you can hear some extra noise from a leak in the exhaust system — this will be repaired or replaced.
-
Interior condition
Under the seat covers, the current owners discovered a well-preserved original upholstery in good condition. The foam padding in the headrests is somewhat dry and crackles when pressed. Otherwise, the carpets, headliner, door panels, and dashboard are all in good condition. The wood trim is intact, and the glove compartment lid appears to have been refinished separately, while the other wooden parts are dry but undamaged.
-
Exterior condition
An older repaint, now carefully polished to a fine finish. The chrome fender trims (popularly known as “Solvalla arches,” at least in the Stockholm area) don’t appear to be hiding any rust, and the car presents a neat and attractive exterior impression. Original “baroque” wheels in good condition, fitted with older tires — the right front shows uneven wear on the outer edge.
-
General condition
Presentable, pleasant, and more enjoyable than the W115 models with their four-cylinder petrol or diesel engines. Straight-six engines are among the finest and, from an engineering standpoint, the most inherently balanced engine designs.

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.
