Teutonia Élegance
The Teutonia Élegance is an elegant, retro-style stroller featuring an X-shaped rocking chassis equipped with large, fixed, air-filled wheels. The reversible seat unit can be reclined flat. The hood is used on the seat as well as on the carrycot which comes with the 2in1 stroller combination. You can easily remove the hood and attach it either to the carrycot or the seat, depending which one you are going to use.
You can choose the color of the seat textiles in combination with a black or black&white wheels. Many other accessories are also available: footmuffs, an umbrella, an apron, a changing bag and a full shopping basket insert with carry straps. The optional mosquito net comes in a small bag which can be attached to the wire shopping basket. The older models can be identified by the handlebar covered in foam (which was later covered in leatherette) and by the optional smaller 30cm wheels.

Parent reviews of the Teutonia Élegance
Your questions about the Teutonia Élegance
Hi, I have a Teutonia Pram that is very old. It says baby cars Antwerpenon the side. Do you know what it's worth? I want to sell it.
Hi, Kari,
I am guessing it is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, to be honest 😊 But honestly, I cannot say. The price depends on the real age of the stroller, not just how it looks like, the "rarity" of it, and the demand. If I were you, I would go to some antique shop and ask there - for evaluation of the state it is in as well as an overall value of the pram.
Or put it up on eBay for an auction, starting at some minimal sum that you'd be willing to give it away for... and promote the auction as much as you can, in Facebook groups, social media, etc. But, unless it is a collector piece, it will be worth a few hundred USD at the most, as older prams look awesome but require, usually, quite a bit of maintenance (and often cannot be folded, even - so a lot of space as well).
