A Swedish journalist is searching for the men who sold a Bath- registered car to her grandma in order to buy a ticket home.
In 1966 two young Englishmen turned up at a garage in Sweden asking for help to repair a Rover Sport Saloon registered in Bath.
Christina Boden, 53, inherited the Rover, registered in Bath in 1934, and plans to get it back on the road with the help of her husband Lasse.
She would like to get in touch with the men to learn what prompted them to take an old car all the way to Sweden.
Mrs Boden knows the men drove the car from England and had travelled north through Norway and up to Treriksröset, where the borders of Sweden, Norway and Finland meet.
They decided to drive home through Sweden, but they had problems with the engine and stopped in Piteå to get some help.
In Piteå they met Mrs Bowden's uncles Tage and Sture Lönnberg, who had a workshop. However they then decided to sell the car to her grandmother Sonja.
Mrs Boden said: "They said that they wanted £100 for the car, which was about 1,250 Swedish kronor, money that my grandmother paid.
"Then my uncle Sture drove them to train station in Älvsbyn. If they then travelled by train all the way to England, I do not know, but I hope they arrived home safely.
"I have tried in different ways to get information on the car, but it stops wherever I turn. My only hope now is that someone who owned the car recognises it."
Mrs Boden, who works as a family editor at her local newspaper Hudiksvalls Tidning, said her uncle Sture had big plans for the car.
However he was "more of a dreamer" and instead the car was moved from one garage to another.
In July she managed to buy the car and named it Gladys, after the old registration plate GL 1355.
Only 2,000 Rover 14 Sport Saloons were built in 1934, and as far as Mrs Bowden knows, there are ten still in existence today.
She said: "There are seven in England, one in New Zealand, one in Australia and my car.
"The Rover has been in our family for most of my life, and I thought it was sad if it would be sold to someone else.
"It has passed all the years in the garage very well, it looks like the car is in exactly the condition that the British left it in 1966."
