"An older renovation that has held up very well. The car looks great and runs flawlessly. The new owner only needs to continue with ongoing maintenance and summertime driving to maintain this fine condition."

Description

The Amazon was bought new in 1959 by a car director at Volvo in Ystad. He had the car anti-rust treatment, which at that time was an option. For this reason, it has fared very well from any rust attack. He owned the car for 17 years before selling it.

In the 80s it was bought by an enthusiast who renovated the engine and the car completely with NOS parts including the front wings. There wasn't much rust to fix so when the renovation was finished it was painted in the original colour.

The current owner bought the car 30 years ago and has used it very sparingly and looked after it well. A real anti-rust treatment was done in 2008 and service in autumn 2021, it was also inspected without remark on 2021-10-09 for the last time.

As space in the garage is needed for another object, he chooses to sell the car
forward to another enthusiast.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
