Description
For those who want to uncover the full history, you will need to visit the Swedish archives.
The current owner is a young, technology-interested woman who, after owning the car for four years, has only been able to use it sparingly. She feels she does not have the time for her collector’s vehicle and is therefore letting Bilweb Auctions sell it for her.
One important thing to note is that the car only has original trafficators. This is approved by the Swedish vehicle inspection, but modern drivers often miss when the arm is deployed. An update with small, discreet indicator lights is recommended for safer driving in modern traffic conditions.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Volvo’s durable B4B engine with 1.4 liters and 40 hp. The transmission is the original 3-speed with an unsynchronized low gear. Starts easily and runs nicely with the classic Volvo sound. These older vehicles with an unsynchronized 1st gear require a relaxed and harmonious driving style. The car is fully functional and ready to drive. It has a 6-volt electrical system with a new starter battery. The starter motor has been rebuilt and the solenoid replaced because there were occasional clicks in the starter motor. As a result, the ignition switch has been bypassed. Now the problem seems to be solved, and all that remains is to install a new ignition switch. (The car starts and can be test-driven without the ignition switch until it is fixed.)
Equipped with a heating unit, which was actually an option when the PV 444 was introduced. New exhaust system. Fitted with older bias-ply tires that give the car the right profile; these have dried out and should be replaced in the long run for safety reasons. -
Interior condition
The interior is very nice. We believe it was renovated in the 1980s. The interior was done in the correct colors and was given some extra attention with button-tufted seats. It is neatly and properly done. There is only minor wear on the driver’s seat, with a small hole on the side of the backrest. A new headliner was also installed at the same time. The ignition switch is in place but has been bypassed with a toggle switch and start button. It needs to be replaced. See pictures. The small window crank for the left ventilation window has come off and is included loose; it’s nothing unusual but needs some attention.
-
Exterior condition
Older repaint done in the 1980s, which is in typical used condition. It has stood the test of time well. There is a rust spot on the left front fender, just at the rear edge, at the bottom of the radio antenna. It appears to be limited to that area. See the pictures. The bumpers are very nice and were likely re-chromed in the 1980s.

General condition
A charming Swedish-made classic car that leaves a good overall impression for the model. Not in mint condition, but very well-maintained and in a usable, functional state. A true grandfather’s car that was used for both special occasions and everyday life during the transition between the 1940s and 1950s.

Facts about the model
In the first three years, 1947-1950, all models delivered were registered as 1947 models in the vehicle registry. All these cars were black on the outside and had the nice light green and beige interior. In 1950, more colors were introduced, and the interior was adjusted accordingly.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- 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.
