Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily and eagerly. The clutch, gearbox, and chassis all feel good, but the brakes pull to the left. Braking performance is uneven, with the right-front brake caliper most likely being the cause. A new owner will need to rectify this issue and also investigate why the charging warning light remains illuminated.
-
Interior condition
Good and attractive interior with a small tear in the driver's seat backrest; a new upholstery cover for the left-hand seat is therefore included. Nice dashboard with no cracks on the upper surface, and the wrinkle-finish paint on the instrument cluster remains intact. The full rubber floor mat is also undamaged and complete, requiring only some cleaning. The headliner has suffered some attention from mice, and a replacement headliner is included.
-
Exterior condition
Older repaint, most likely carried out in the late 1980s. All bodywork was completed at that time, and the car has seen little use since. The well-known welded seam in line with the door edges has been covered with paint/filler. One of the grille bars sits slightly crooked. Older Michelin XZX tyres, but in good condition and period-correct in appearance, with good tread remaining.
-
General condition
With an overhaul of the brakes and a check of the charging system, this would be a sensible and user-friendly classic. After that, it should make a reliable enthusiast’s car, and there is a special charm and character to using an Amazon as everyday transport during the summer months.

Facts about the model
Subjectively, the Amazon is the most attractive of the group, but even from an objective standpoint it is a design that has aged remarkably well. The final model year of the Volvo Amazon was 1970. Production began in 1956 and ended on 3 July 1970, when the last Amazon rolled off the assembly line at Volvo’s Torslanda factory. A total of 667,791 examples were produced, making it Volvo’s most-produced model up to that point.
During its final model year, the Amazon was available only as a two-door model fitted with the B20 engine, which had been introduced in 1969. When production ended, the Amazon was fully replaced by the Volvo 140 series. The last Amazon built is today preserved in Volvo’s collection in Gothenburg.
