Volvo Amazon 121 Kombi B20 — 1965

Rolling object with great potential and a nice history. Amazon wagons, like their successors 145/245, are becoming increasingly difficult to find in decent condition. This specimen needs some work, but is in a good basic condition.

"A lot of work for an enthusiast and a lot of joy when it's done."

Description

It was delivered new to Weilands Tryckeri in Uppsala in May 1965, perhaps as a useful company car. With its practical cargo space, stylish body, and elegantly split tailgate, the Amazon estate was already in the sixties a vehicle befitting a manor. And furthermore, as a vintage Volvo today, it enjoys a slightly higher status in the Amazon family. Probably, the car stayed in the Uppsala area until a new owner from Gotland took over in the mid-eighties. It remained there until 2004 before ending up in southeast Småland, where the current owner from Malmö bought the Amazon in 2009. Fine older documentation includes an early registration certificate and the original instruction book. The last approved inspection was on December 10, 2020, making the car exempt from inspections.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts with a little starting gas and probably needs a minor overhaul of the carburetor and ignition. The engine has been replaced at some point with a newer B20 engine. The gearbox is leaking oil through the output shaft seal. Additionally, there is a minor issue with the overdrive function, but according to the owner, it's something small.

  • Interior condition:

    Newer 240 seats are installed, but the original seat cushions come along without the seat frames. Original carpets are also included, but they are in a worn condition. Remnants of an older music installation are still present. The door panels' upholstery has held up better than the frames. The headliner is okay, slightly soiled, and has a small hole.

  • Exterior condition:

    There is rust in the doors and fender edges, but it appears to have fared well underneath. The split rear tailgate also shows some signs of corrosion. An original roof rack without wooden slats comes along with a set of so-called "snob rings" for the wheels.

  • General condition:

    A rolling object, as mentioned. Fun for a skilled restoration enthusiast to take on, Amazon estate wagons in drivable and/or good condition are attractive collector cars today.

  • 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.
