Today I got a second Ascona. It's a C1-type from 1983, a type which is becoming rare. It has a 1600 cc engine with a 4-speed manual gearbox, good for 90 HP and a top speed of 175 km/h. The color is red metallic with a light brown interior, which looks very nice. It has ran some 156.000 km by now.
The full history is known, I got the car from the 2nd owner, who was the granddaughter of the 1st. Until 1994, the car stood in a garage, after 1994 outside. I have the bills of all repairs from 1994 onwards, so it's easy to check the history. In 1997, the car got a new camshaft, because it had apparently ran without engine oil.
The car is in good condition, only some parts have to be welded. Although the car looks very nice, some work has to be done to get it like my other Ascona:
-welding on bottom and wheel arch
-1 new tyre
-new grille
-new shock absorbers
-new stabilisator
-new dashboard (the old one is deformed due to exposure to the sun)
-1 seat has to be repaired
-and all things which will appear during restauration!
