Basic information and history
This Volkswagen 1200L from 1981 ended up in the hands of the current owner when it came with the purchase of a house. According to the statement, the car has been in the house's garage since the beginning of the 2000s and only started once for conditioning. Previous owners came to Sweden from Latvia in the early 2000s and took the car with them. The previous owner did simple renovations and maintenance, e.g. screen replacement. The car is relatively nice for its age but is in need of an overhaul and various rust that should be looked over. Previous owners never registered the car in Sweden, but it was done at the beginning of the year. According to old papers, the car had four users in Latvia.

The tires fitted are without damage and were approved at the last inspection.
