Description

This Amazon 121 was delivered new from Volvo Borås in 1967 to its first owner in Kungsbacka and has spent almost its entire life in the same region with six different owners. The current owners purchased the car in 2021, initially intending to renovate it themselves. However, after realizing the extent of the work required, they entrusted the renovation to a friend in Falköping who had the time and expertise. The complete restoration took one year.

The owners aimed to preserve some original features, successfully retaining the original interior seats with minor repairs and the door cards. They replaced the headliner and added carpets, as the original rubber mats were hard to find. The bodywork was repaired and fully repainted, and all mechanical parts were reviewed, with worn components replaced.

This car is ideal for anyone looking for a turnkey Amazon that can be enjoyed for many years with just routine service and maintenance. The only reason for selling is that the owners, due to their successful and expanding business, no longer have the time to enjoy the car.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    No issues to report—just turn the key and drive home. It is tax and inspection exempt forever. The car features nice steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    As mentioned, they kept the original seats, with a small repair on the driver's bolster and a minor rip on the passenger seat side. The seats are nice and original, showing normal signs of wear, and the door cards and panels are in good condition. New carpets and headliner have been installed, and the dashboard and gauges are clean and tidy. There is a slightly creased liner around the rear window (see picture).

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with no damages or rust, and the panels fit well with good gaps. The underside is clean, free of rust or damages, and has been undersealed. The paintwork is nice and bright with a good shine, although there is a slight orange peel finish in some areas. The chrome work all around is nice and bright, with some signs of older wear and oxidation.

  • General condition:

    It's nice to see a renovated car that hasn't been over-restored and still retains some of its original charm. It's the perfect car for someone looking for a nice and reliable car to enjoy for many years. Plus, it's always more cost-effective to buy one that's already been renovated.

  • 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.
