AI Listing Summary
This classic Auto-Union Schnellaster van boasts a recent restoration, a low mileage of 17,000, and a reliably starting 900cc engine. Originating in Southern Rhodesia and having been displayed at the NEC in 2016, this rare vehicle (1 of only 3,727 ever produced) requires only a few finishing touches to be show-ready.

Condition
7
The car description indicates a recent restoration but mentions the need for a few finishing touches. The mileage is low, and the engine starts reliably. The car's history and rarity (only 3,727 vans and pickups produced) also contribute positively, suggesting a condition between Very Good and Excellent, pending assessment of those 'finishing touches'.
