YF 5009, registered
in Sweden as A (Stockholm) 15749 at
Strandvägen, a fashionable street
in the center of Stockholm. Date of
photo is not known but the cars shown
are all late thirties cars - the small
car seen on the opposite side of the
street is a Lancia Aprilia. Thus,
probably late 1930´s, but might
be after the war in the late 1940´s
before the car was given to the National
Museum of Science and Technology in
1951. Except for renewal of tyres
the car has not been restored or modified
in any way - and might thus be the
most original 8-litre in existance.
The coachwork is absolutely right
for an 8-litre - in all a magnificent
car.
