"A professionally restored car in excellent condition, running perfectly and making an impressive impression both inside and out."

Description

The car was skillfully restored in the early 2000s and has been used very sparingly since.

The previous owner purchased the car in 2014 with the intention of using it for various outings, but this never happened, and the car was decommissioned in 2017.

The current owner acquired the Amazon for their collection in 2022 due to its excellent condition but is now selling it due to space constraints.

The car has a limited-mile odometer, and it cannot be ruled out that the meter has already rolled over, making any mileage indications uncertain.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs excellently, and everything functions as it should. It has recently undergone a startup service after a period of inactivity.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in top condition, except for a tear in the front passenger seat.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork is still in excellent condition despite its age. All chrome is flawless, and the trim is straight and neatly mounted. The alignment of doors and panels after the restoration has been perfectly executed. Painted original wheels with good tires.

  • General condition:

    A fantastic Amazon Kombi that stands proudly at any exhibition. Perhaps a future award winner?

Facts about the model

Volvo Amazon – A Modern Successor to the PV 444
The Volvo Amazon was launched as the successor to the PV 444 and was significantly more modern in comparison, not least due to its 1950s-inspired design, influenced by the split grille of the Imperial. Featuring a ponton-style body, the Amazon was offered both as a two-door sedan and a five-door estate. Its wheelbase and fundamental technical construction were inherited from the PV 444.

The model was introduced in October 1961 as a two-door version, followed by the five-door estate in February 1962. The design of the Amazon was the work of Jan Wilsgaard.

A Pioneer in Safety
Volvo had an early focus on safety, and the Amazon was among the first cars to offer seatbelt mounts as standard equipment. In 1959, the Volvo Amazon became the first mass-produced car in the world to feature three-point seatbelts in the front seats as standard. As early as 1957, the model had been prepared for three-point seatbelts, which could be purchased as an optional extra at the time.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
