Beschreibung

This Volvo Amazon was originally sold new in October 1966 to engineer Tage Jansson and has remained in the same family ever since. During its early years, it was used in Stockholm and Täby before eventually moving south to Småland. Around the late 1980s or early 1990s, it was tucked away in a shed on a farm in Lönneberga parish, where it remained untouched until December 2024, when the property was due to be sold.

The car is in original, unrestored condition. The passenger door is dented, the rear wheel arches are affected by rust, and there are patches of surface rust along various edges. Still, it is remarkably complete and well-preserved. Even the bumpers are straight, and all the chrome trim is intact.

Inside, the condition is better than expected. The seats, door panels, and headliner are all presentable and only need a thorough cleaning.

Mechanically, the car will require attention. The brakes need a full overhaul, the engine hasn’t been started in decades, and a comprehensive service will be necessary before any attempts to drive it.

Over the Easter weekend, the car will be on display in Hall D at the Bilsport Custom and Performance Show at Elmia in Jönköping. During the event, YouTuber Hampus Granström will be working to bring the “Lönneberga Amazon” back to life using new parts from VP Autoparts. Its needs a new battery, water pump, and fuel pump. The fuel tank may need to be cleaned and the carburetor checked or rebuilt. We’ll see if Hampus can get it running!

This listing will be updated as progress is made, ensuring that all information is current by auction day—Thursday, April 24.

While at the show, the car will also receive a cleanup, and new photos will be added to the auction site. It will be exciting to see the true condition and how the rare Light Green paint (color code 91) looks beneath the decades of dust. When the team from Klassiker picked up the car, it appeared to be a solid project with real potential. It might even pass inspection with some mechanical work and could possibly be driven as-is. Alternatively, it’s an excellent candidate for a full restoration—especially since this color was only offered in 1966 and 1967, and the car appears to have relatively low mileage.

You can read more about this remarkable barn find in Klassiker magazine, issue 4/2025, and on the magazine’s website.

The car currently wears registration plates CCA505, but these are no longer valid, as the vehicle has dropped out of the Swedish vehicle register. A document from the National Archives is included to support an application for an origin inspection and re-registration. The car is being sold unregistered, and the buyer will need to handle the registration process. As a result, it will be listed as a parts car on the bill of sale.

If you have questions about the registration process, feel free to contact our expert at Bilweb Auctions at +46 708 20 21 13.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    A full startup service is required before the engine can be safely started. This includes inspecting the engine and cylinders, checking the electrical and fuel systems, and replacing any worn or damaged components. We’ll also be taking a look in the boot to see what’s inside—though the key is currently missing.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Interior is surprisingly in good, original condition and is complete. It’ll be exciting to see how it looks after a proper cleaning.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    It’s still untouched and covered in over 30 years of dust—let’s see what kind of magic can happen over the weekend as it begins to reveal its rare Light Green color. There are rust issues around the lower body panels, especially the rear wheel arches, and a dent in the passenger door that will need some attention to close properly. The underbody has surface rust, mainly on components, and a more detailed inspection will follow.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    It’s an exciting project that will be documented along the way, with progress updates posted regularly. A final update will be shared on Tuesday next week.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
