Description
This vehicle's rediscovery in a garage near Uppsala in early 2012 was a fortunate find, as it was found to be in remarkably clean and solid condition. Subsequent restoration efforts included replacing the interior with a meticulously crafted replica from the USA, along with significant mechanical work to ensure its roadworthiness. Overheating, a common issue with these cars, was effectively addressed by skimming the cylinder head and fitting a new radiator, eliminating any future overheating concerns.
In its current state, this Model A stands as a beautifully preserved, original car that offers superb reliability and an enjoyable driving experience—a true testament to its enduring quality and charm.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The previous owner invested heavily in maintenance, documented in the diary's pictures. The current owner has kept up with routine servicing, and the car is now in excellent, hassle-free, and drivable condition.
-
Interior condition
The interior received an update a decade ago with period-correct seats, mats, and door cards. All original features and instrumentation are intact and operational, with the exception of the interior heat and windscreen blower. The interior exudes a clean and inviting ambiance.
-
Exterior condition
The car's entire exterior is exceptionally clean and structurally sound, devoid of any rust problems, and boasts a well-maintained underbody. While it's challenging to confirm, the paintwork may be original?, and it has aged gracefully with age-related marks and blemishes that add to its character and historical appeal. The car sports charming spoked wheels with good tires and shinny chrome details throughout. The imitation leather roof, which appears to be original, remains intact but shows signs of aging.
