Description

This PV 544 Special 1, model year 1958, has been owned by the current owner since 2019. When he took over the car, he upgraded it with a 4-speed M4 gearbox, a electronic 123 ignition system, and front disc brakes. He painted the rims and mounted new tires. The car also received a new headliner, new fabric strips around the doors, and a new parcel shelf. The PV also got the correct original seats, rear seat, and door panels, all in good used condition. A new fuel tank and fuel sender unit were purchased due to debris/rust in the old one. The PV also underwent rust protection treatment. The previous owner had not done anything to the car, but it was already rust-repaired and repainted at that time. When this was done is unknown. The current owner has mostly used the car for leisure drives on weekends and for transport to various events. Ready to drive and MOT exempt in a nice used condition.

Facts about the model

The Volvo PV 544 A began production in 1958, but it wasn’t hard to recognize the shape from its predecessor, the PV 444 – even though the larger windows and taillights somewhat changed its character. Inside, there were plenty of new features, including an instrument panel almost identical to that of the Amazon, a hanging accelerator pedal, and a handbrake between the front seats.

The Volvo PV 544 A, manufactured between 1958 and 1960, was available in Standard, Special I, Special II, and Sport versions. The simplest version was the Standard with a B16A engine and a three-speed gearbox. It wasn’t until August 1960 that the B model was introduced, featuring fully synchronized gearboxes as the biggest new feature.
