AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Technics: Mechanically, this car is in very good and original condition. The engine starts immediately and runs perfectly. In 2024 a major service was carried out, during which the engine block was partially rebuilt. The carburetors have also been rebuilt. In 2022 the clutch and pressure plate were renewed, as well as the brakes.

Interieur: The interior is in good and exceptionally original condition and has remained almost completely original. The car is equipped with leather seats. The dashboard is sleek and neat, fully original and equipped with the original gauges. The original decorative cap is also present.

Chassis: The chassis is solid and original. The car has passed annual inspection without problems. At the current owner (enthusiast/collector) the car is stored indoors in both summer and winter. Last year a major service was performed and the car has been fully checked over. Furthermore, completely original and unrestored.

Exterieur: The paint is still in good condition. Of course there are some signs of use appropriate for age. Recently the car was fully high-gloss polished by a professional car detailer, with a beautiful result as seen in the photos. The chrome is in its original condition.

Algemeen: In short, a very nice and honest original car. Perfect as a summer daily driver and at the same time a solid and interesting investment.

Documenten & Afhaling: Equipped with Dutch papers. If sold outside the Netherlands we can provide export documents free of charge. The car is available for pickup in Hardenberg.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
