Description
The car was refinished in Metallic Blue over herringbone cloth upholstery, and power is provided by a replacement 25-horsepower 1,100cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Show accolades include a first-in-class at the San Marino Motor Classic in 2018, and the car has also appeared in the Wolfsburg West catalog. The selling dealer also points out details such as rechromed factory bumpers, model-year specific US-market headlight lenses, an oval rear window with a 1953-only Sekurit dot logo, large Sekurit etchings on the side glass and windshield, rebuilt semaphores, and unusued vintage replacement “heart” taillights. Riveted 15? steel wheels feature red centers with body-colored lips, factory hubcaps with black logos, and wear 5. 60-15 Firestone blackwall rubber from Coker Tire. The seats and interior panels are upholstered in herringbone-pattern cloth that was reportedly sourced from Germany and sewn in the US. The floors are covered in brown German square-weave carpets protected by black rubber mats, and the headliner is German mohair according to the selling dealer. The two-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a darker column with an accessory turn signal switch featuring a light-up indicator tip. Total mileage is unknown. Other accessories consist of aluminum door sill plates and a cigar lighter, while the selling dealer notes that the car has not been fitted with a radio.
