AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful 1970 vehicle, which has been treated with care and thus still retains its original character.

The car was purchased by a large bank and equipped with many extras:

- Automatic transmission
- Power steering
- Electric sunroof
- Central locking
- Tinted windows
- Front headrests
- Armrests
- Becker radio (pinstripe)
- hydraulic balancing spring (Bogemat)

The bank sold the vehicle to a businessperson, who in turn sold the car after 6 months to a small entrepreneur. He kept the vehicle for 45 years.
After his death, a businessman bought it in 2016, from whom I acquired the vehicle in 2020.

A lot has been invested in recent years; among other things, the cylinder head was overhauled, a new camshaft installed. An electric ignition was installed, the Bogebein overhauled by ZF. The carburetors were overhauled, a new exhaust system installed, etc.

The vehicle runs well and reliably; the braking system can keep up with modern vehicles.

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.
