A recent best in show example of this tough, sporting Swedish shooting brake.The condition is excellent in every respect from the mechanicals to the body work. The paintwork however shows some imperfections relating to preparation stage, and there is evidence of areas that could be improved, especially around door shut areas. Internally the interior is excellent and retains much originality and light patina, seats are sumptuous with no damage, carpets new, headlining and trim in first class order. The engine bay is detailed well and the all components look to have been revamped or replaced where necessary. Sitting on recent new tyres and restored wheels this car wants for nothing but use.

A rare and stylish practical classic that runs and drives extremely well where huge expense has already been undertaken.
