The seller offers for sale a 1974 Apal Cabriolet, a well-maintained replica of the iconic German sportscar. Powered by a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, this lightweight roadster delivers impressive performance and smooth handling through its manual transmission. It features disc brakes for improved stopping power and an extra oil cooler for enhanced engine reliability. The car is in good used condition, with some minor paint cracks around the body consistent with age. The red artificial leather interior shows natural wear but remains tidy and usable. The car starts easily, runs cleanly without smoke or noise, and the gearbox shifts smoothly without issues. There is no visible rust or accident history, making this an attractive, road-ready classic with only light cosmetic work recommended.
The Apal Cabriolet is one of the most admired European-built replicas. Produced in Belgium, Apal models are known for their quality fiberglass bodies, lightweight construction, and authentic proportions. They combine vintage aesthetics with affordable maintenance and enjoyable driving characteristics. With rear-engine balance and simple mechanicals, these cars offer the spirit of 1950s open-top motoring. This 1974 example captures that timeless design and delivers an engaging, nostalgic driving experience ideal for sunny weekend tours or classic events.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
