AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
They are bidding on a true Swiss rarity! Universal A680 with a gondola. These vehicles are rare to come by. They were built in Oberrieden, Switzerland. The powerful V2 engines with 20 HP were also used in Condor motorcycles and in the Swiss military, which points to high reliability. The vehicle I am offering is in very good condition. The carburetor was completely overhauled a year ago and the compression checked. The engine runs reliably and quietly. The mileage is only 5105 km. The paint is in excellent condition except for a small spot around the fuel tank cap. The Universal was freshly inspected this summer and again received the Swiss veteran status. The machine leaks little oil, which is normal for this age; otherwise it would not have received veteran status. A history from the Swiss ASTRA is also available. A test drive is possible in Reinach AG in good weather. Shipping abroad is basically possible, but must be organized by the buyer.

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.
