"In very good condition and runs as well as it looks."

Description

The first owner was Railway official Evert Salmson who ordered his new Amazon in February 1961. In part exchange, he left a Volvo PV from the year 1956.

It was a luxurious car. Sports model with four-speed gearbox and overdrive. It was owned by the Salmson family until 2013. Four owners in total but in practice only two owners who didn’t put many miles on the clock. The meter reading of just over 110,000 km seems correct with its condition.

The owner has done some research and it seems that only 199 B16 cars with overdrive were built.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    With four gears and overdrive, this car runs very quietly and comfortably. The electrics are managed by a six-volt alternator (original direct current is available) Furthermore, some niceties have been installed such as a 12-volt converter. It gives a little extra push to the overdrive and the hidden electric power steering.

    The engine and the M41 box can be said to do the job exemplarily well.

  • Interior condition:

    On the inside, the car is very nice and very well kept. By all accounts, the upholstery and carpets are original. A centre console has been fitted for practical reasons. The boot is nice and untouched. Also very nice under the carpet and spare wheel tray.

  • Exterior condition:

    Stylish in slate blue, repainted about 30 years ago but the colour may not be 100% original. Overall nice with a few small imperfections, some small paint runs and some blistering. What has been done with the paintwork is to preserve the original joints in the body. There is a slight hint of incipient rust in some wing edges and at the front part towards the bumper, but nothing to directly comment on at all.


    Very nice chrome and normal aged condition on other trims and handles.

  • General condition:

    A very good overall impression - low mileage and the right equipment makes this a very nice car in every way.

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