Opel Olympia P1 Pickup (RHD) For Sale (1957)
Located in South Africa. Owned by one family since new, this extremely rare P1 Pickup (factory built) is believed to be 1 of very few remaining. Engine is a 1488cc 4cylinder with manual 3spd. It is still a very reliable & usable vehicle. Recently used for a 150km trip. 82000 miles since new. This is a neat but not concours vehicle and will need some restoration Only reason for selling is loss of storage space. It is currently registered & licenced in South Africa. This is a rare opportunity for the Opel collector to secure one of the few remaining Opel P1 pickups Price excludes shipping. Seller can arrange shipping at best rates. Many references available.
