CITROEN CX TURBO 1985
Runs great, perfect hydraulics, power-windows, power-mirrors, power-sunroof, power-you name it. Leather seats, aircondition (out of order). 6 speaker kenwood-stereo. The only bad thing about the car is that it's so nice to drive you'll use any excuse to go out for a spin around town! 168HP, 2,5 litre TURBO. It moves. ( I sold it... )

VOLKSWAGEN 412 LE VARIANT 1973
I only owned this car for a month. Don't ask me why. It was a cool comfy ride, came from the north of Sweden and had NO rust, originally used by "Televerket" (the "Swedish Government Agency for Telecommunications" back in those days), it still had some of it's equipment left!

The car I traded my -62 sunroof for. I hardly drove this car at all, since I owned it only during the winter months. it had a good engine, nice wheels (not my favourites though) and some cool mods.. I sold it anyway.

A nice french car! A great ride, very comfortable. It was my trusty driver for about 6 months. I decided to sell it when I lost a third of the exhaust on the highway, and I did not have the time or the will to repair it.

VOLKSWAGEN 1200 TYPE 117 (original sunroof) 1962
I found the car a few blocks away from home. It had spent about 10 years off the road but was in decent condition. A typical early 90s cal-look. I figured I'd fix the car during the winter and have it ready by spring, but other things took up my time and I traded it for the white 1500 -69 above.

ALFA ROMEO ALFETTA GTV 1980
I found it in Vaxholm and got it cheap due to a crack in the gearbox-housing. I replaced the cracked part with one I got from the scrapyard, and then drove like crazy. This was a fun car! It was in great condition to, with original magnesium-wheels, also on the never used spare!

CITROEN DS 21 H PALLAS 1966
This is (was) my Citroen DS 21 H (H = semi-automatic gearbox) Pallas 1966. I got it for $300 and yes.. "you get what you pay for"... mice had distroyed all the electric wires and the engine was frozen. I sold it a few months later for the same amount as a parts-car. When it was loaded onto the trailer all the rust made the car break in half behind the rear seat...

VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA TYPE 34 1964
WOW! The most stylish car I have ever owned? Probably. It was fast compared to other 60s VW's I've had and handled well on the road. I'll get ahold of a nicer example some day. Great car, though couldn't carry so much luggage... The rear storage-compartment is about 3 inches deep = useless.

AUDI 100 LS AUTOMATIC 1975   
This was the last of the AUDI's I owned back then. It had one previous owner, 130000km, perfect condition! What more could you ask for? It cost me about $500 and even though it was one of only a handfull 2-door automatics in the country, it was hard to even get my money back.

A great car! It needed some welding and tinkering but had great patina, nice red/white interior, strong 36hp engine and all that. I traded it for the '65 bus! =) You'd think the left photo is about 30 years old but it's not... photoshop did that.

SAAB 900 AUTOMATIC 1987
Why? Hard to say, it was almost free though. Reason? Bad transmission... it had no reverse and only the 2:nd gear forward was working. Still it was legal to drive for a few months. You had to consider that every time you parked, that it wasn't possible to reverse out.. not much fun really.

VOLKSWAGEN 1200 TYPE 1/11 1957 
A well-built example of an early 90's cal-looker. It looked really mean and I built a few different engines for it first 1600cc then a 1500cc I ran until the 1600 was upgraded, then I built a brand new 1641cc. Unfortunatly I sold the car then. It lives in England now.

AUDI 100 LS FUEL-INJECTION 1976
A friend of mine found this in a parking-lot in stockholm. He knew I had the brown one below and thought I could get this one to. The car had been standing for two years, I bought it for $10 (yes $10!!) and after I got a new battery it passed the test and I drove it for a year. Great original car! Very rare fuel-injection model, really miss this one!

AUDI 100 LS 1975
This was the first in the row of old AUDI 100's I had. I got it for $200 but there was way to much work and a lot of rust, so I took some parts for my other car, and then took the remains to the scrap-yard.

VOLKSWAGEN 1500 semi-automatic, 1969
I found this in the neighbourhood and got it for free. It had spent the past 15 years in a garden and it turned out to be way to rusty to fix. I welded the pan and sold it, the other parts was scrapped. Oh, I got a NOS front fender with it to!

I like the 1300/1500 1968-1970 cars. This was my first one of them. Nice untouched car in need of new paint. And that's what I gave it. Then it looked great and I sold it the following spring.

VOLKSWAGEN 1303 S, 1974
I got the car cause I needed a new engine for the 1961 below. The car turned out to be too nice so I fixed it up and got a set of new wheels. Stunning to look at! Orange is my favourite colour on a late 60s- 70's VW.

VOLKSWAGEN 1200 1961 
Another $100 car. This was originally a colour-matched beryl-green bug, but the running-boards were replaced with black ones. I drove it until the engine didn't want to work anymore. Then I got the 1303 S above, decided to go with that instead and sold this one.

You can't tell by looking at the photo but it was a rustbucket. I put my hand through the heaterchannels and the floors everywhere. Lived in a hen-house from 1978. I used loads of good parts from it though.

VOLKSWAGEN 1200 1961 
This was a very early 1962 model year with the "new" taillights, spring-loaded front hood and fuel-guage to name a few changes. It was around the 19000 built beetle with these new parts, and so was built on the forth day of "1962" production. I restored the brakes and engine, then partially traded it for the 1959 above and some cash.

Along with the 1959 below, this was a car I learned to drive in. It was a running car, that got new paint before the summer, then a dutch tourist came along and wanted to buy it (car was parked where we lived in the middle of the tourist-crowded town Ystad) , so it went to the netherlands.

It was all original except for the paint. I learned how to drive in this car and the 1964 above. I sold it when I got the 1964, which had real turn-signals and generally a little more modern bug...

My first car. I got it when I was thirteen, at $100 all I got was rust. But the engine was working... 'til I took it apart... it was then scrapped.
