"Perhaps the most desirable PV of them all—a red 544 Sport! In nice, usable condition."

Description

Not much is known about this car, apart from the fact that it has been standing idle for several years. The interior is in good condition, with reupholstered seats and door panels, and the exterior has at some point received a repaint.

Under the hood sits a B18 Sport engine with dual SU carburetors, as it should. A ruby red PV Sport is something many are looking for, and early examples from the first generation are few and far between.

A solid example where you get what you see. The odometer reads 12,671 km and has most likely rolled over once (or twice).

The car is delivered with three ignition keys, two keys for the glove compartment and doors, and one key for the fuel cap.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine starts easily and runs well, but the valve clearances may need to be checked and the carburetors may require adjustment. The braking system feels to be functioning as it should. The left mudflap behind the front wheel is loose.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is in fairly good condition, with reupholstered seats and door panels. The headliner also appears to be in good shape.
    There are some cracks on the padded upper section of the dashboard (see photos), and the paint on the instrument cluster has also developed some cracking.

  • Exterior condition

    The car was repainted at some point further back in time. Taking that into account, the condition is normal. There are some dents, spots of rust, and signs of age (see photos), but nothing that detracts significantly from the overall impression.

    The chrome is in somewhat worn condition, and there are dry cracks in the rubber seals around the front and rear windows (see photos).

  • General condition

    A PV Sport in good condition for someone who prefers driving over polishing and dusting a concours-level show car. Just get in and drive without worrying too much about weather or road conditions.

Facts about the model

The first PV Sport was introduced in 1958, shortly after the launch of the PV 544. The more powerful engine, featuring among other things dual SU carburetors, was initially intended exclusively for the U.S. market. However, by late 1958 it became clear that it could also be sold on the domestic market without increasing U.S. import duties.
The earliest cars were equipped with the B16B engine producing 85 hp, but in August 1961 this was replaced by the new five-bearing B18 engine. The PV 544 Sport received the B18D engine with 90 hp.
In August 1965, output was increased to 95 hp (for the 1966 model year), but only a month later Volvo announced that the model would be discontinued at the end of October 1965.
The final PV produced was a black 544 Sport, model year 1966.

Auction information

  • 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.
