Fully Restored Olympia Traveller de Luxe S Portable Typewriter | Pristine Like-New Condition & Rare Faux-Leather Carrying Case

📖 Product Overview: West German Precision in Exceptional Preserved Condition Discover the ultra-portable elegance and responsive key action of the Olympia Traveller de Luxe S, engineered in Western Germany during the golden era of mid-century mechanical manufacturing. Revered for its sleek, ultra-slim profile and robust internal mechanism, the Traveller de Luxe S is a modern classic favored by novelists, poets, and traveling writers who demand precision on the go.

This specific machine is a museum-grade, like-new time capsule. Remarkably preserved and displaying virtually zero signs of historical handling, it arrives paired with an uncommon, premium black leather-look carrying case that elevates this set far above standard plastic-cased editions. Overhauled across 8 to 10 hours at our Milton Keynes workshop by Walid Saad & Joujou (featured restoration experts on BBC’s The Repair Shop), it has been chemically degreased, segment-flushed, and precision-calibrated for an extraordinarily smooth, fluid typing action.
