Here is the detailed description of this automotive work of art
Bodywork & paintwork: Perfection in form and finish
Perfect panel gaps: The body was completely separated from the frame and rebuilt on a frame alignment bench
All panel gaps on the doors, hoods and sills are absolutely symmetrical, just as they were in the original production condition
Paint finish: The paintwork was applied in several layers with extremely time-consuming sanding between coats
The surface shows no orange peel or inclusions, but rather a deep, mirror-like gloss in the historic original color.
Underside: The underside is also painted, completely free of stone-chip protection or waxes, and displays the flawless structure of the sheet metal
All weld points are located exactly where the factory placed them in 1956
Mechanics & drivetrain: Better than at factory delivery
Power unit: The original 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine (M 121) was completely disassembled, finely balanced and fitted with modern high-performance seals and new bearings
Historic carburetor precision: The original Solex 44 PHH downdraft carburetors were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, completely overhauled and perfectly synchronized on a period-correct test bench
Chassis & brakes: Every single chassis component, from the steering knuckle to the coil spring, was renewed
The drum brake system with ATE T-50 brake booster brakes in a perfectly straight line and without fading
Interior & details:
Leather: The interior is upholstered in the finest period-correct grained leather
Every seam was sewn by master craftsmen with the correct stitch length for 1956
The carpeting and trim are as they were upon factory delivery
**Instruments & clocks: **
The original VDO round instruments are presented in like-new condition. The clock, Becker radio and switches shine as if the vehicle had only just left the factory
Mr. Rainer Becker will be happy to advise you on this vehicle
