Volvo Amazon 121 B16 — 1961

Early model and incredibly well preserved. This is about telling details such as delivery plastic on the interior being removed late, original diagonal tyres, and meticulous care since new. Just over 47,000 km in total and rarely, if ever, driven in the rain.

"It has been cared for like a museum piece, yet gently used in small doses – exactly what a technical creation like a car benefits from most."

"It has been cared for like a museum piece, yet gently used in small doses – exactly what a technical creation like a car benefits from most."

Beschreibung

It was delivered in December 1960 by Lennart Jöhnke Bil AB in Linköping to workshop foreman Albert Christensson in Jägarvallen, just outside the same city. And Albert was exactly that – a master at keeping technical things and his garage in perfect order. He cared for his Amazon so well that today it stands as a rolling, untouched piece of cultural heritage.

The previous owner first saw the car by chance in the early 1980s, when he and his then-girlfriend (now wife) were studying at the teacher training college in Linköping. He met Albert on a few occasions and expressed his interest and desire to buy the Amazon. Nothing happened at the time, but several years later – after a few Christmas cards and after the couple had completed their studies, moved back to their hometown of Halmstad, and started working – Albert got in touch to say he was going to sell.

By then it was 1989, and all that remained was to gather the money and make the purchase. Over the years, the car has been cared for in exactly the same way as from the beginning – used for student celebrations, weddings, special outings, and enthusiast meets, often earning awards.

According to the chassis number and available documentation, it is a 1961 model year. The old registration certificate also states 1960–1961, but in the section “compliance with type vehicle” it shows 1 December 1960. That date was later transferred to the new register. The latest and final approved inspection was carried out on 3 August 2016.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    The car has, of course, been serviced far beyond the standard maintenance schedule over the years. The engine’s paint is actually the only thing that has been improved and attended to, with the previous owner carrying out a meticulous repaint of it a few years ago. All mechanical components function flawlessly and without issue, except that the master brake cylinder is sticking. The temperature gauge is also non-functional, but a new mechanical gauge is included. A new battery has been installed. If the car receives the same kind of care it has always enjoyed, it will probably keep rolling forever.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Interior in like-new condition. Seats, door panels, headliner, dashboard, carpets, and details – everything exudes careful maintenance and conscious preservation. The previous owner removed the protective plastic from the door panels and seats around 1989/90 – meaning the first owner had left the plastic in place for 30 years.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Untouched paint in excellent original condition. Despite its glossy and fine finish, it is believed to have never been polished throughout all these years. Minor signs of use. Older original cross-ply tires – according to the first owner, these are the very tires the car was delivered with. Chrome, glass, and details are in beautiful original condition. The first owner had applied a thin layer of protective coating on all chrome, which the current owner later removed with denatured alcohol, resulting in the chrome’s excellent preservation.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    An overall impression that lingers in the memory. This is a car where the buyer also, in a sense, takes on a responsibility – not only to store it properly, but also to maintain and use it in keeping with the high standard it has always enjoyed.

Fakten zum Modell

The Volvo Amazon, also known as the Volvo 120 Series, was first introduced in 1956 and quickly became popular. By 1961, the Amazon was already established as one of Volvo’s most successful models. Here are some key points about the Volvo Amazon from that era:

The Amazon featured a distinctive design with clean lines and a solid, durable construction. It was available as a sedan, estate, and sport version.

In 1961, the Amazon was offered with several engine options, including a 1.6-liter engine and later a 1.8-liter engine, which provided strong performance for its time.

Volvo was an early pioneer in focusing on safety, and the Amazon was no exception. The car was equipped with features such as seat belts and a strong body structure designed to protect passengers in the event of a collision.

The Amazon quickly became popular in many countries, not only for its reliability and safety but also for its comfort and style. It was particularly well-liked in Sweden and other Nordic countries.

The Volvo Amazon also participated in motorsport, proving to be competitive in rallying and other racing events.

Production of the Volvo Amazon continued into the 1970s, and today it has become a classic, sought after by car enthusiasts and collectors.
