"Volvo PV Sport with B16 engine has been underestimated among enthusiasts. Here is a renovated copy that will probably convince even the sceptic. If you want to continue you can install new radiator grill and new bumpers, perhaps with American ones."

"Volvo PV Sport with B16 engine has been underestimated among enthusiasts. Here is a renovated copy that will probably convince even the sceptic. If you want to continue you can install new radiator grill and new bumpers, perhaps with American ones."

Description

Norrland-driven Volvo Sport which after the renovation was inspected and ready to drive in the summer of 2020. The owner is a Volvo enthusiast with experience in PV renovations. When he started the renovation in 2019, the car had been parked since 1980. The body is completely renovated and so are the mechanics. The car looks nice and is nice to drive. The car has 5 registered owners according to the Swedish Transport Agency, but only 1 owner since 1980. The original instruction book and jack are missing. The odometer reads 327 miles. These gauges are spinning at 10,000 miles and we suspect the car has done 20,327 miles considering it was retired in 1980. The owner is now letting the car move on in favour of his other projects

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Completely technical. Refurbished B16 engine, bored 0.30, ground crank and refurbished top, as well as a refurbished 4-speed gearbox. Equipped with a new two-inch sports exhaust system. Refurbished brakes. New fuel tank. In short, just turn the key and drive.

  • Interior condition:

    New interior in the original design. Reupholstered seats, new headliner and new rubber mat. Possibly the headliner could be stretched up slightly around the rear window. Slightly worn entry seal on the driver's side. The tachometer is not connected. Nice boot with new side panels. Original boot mat with normal wear.

  • Exterior condition:

    Renovated bodywork and new wings were also installed in connection with the paint job in 2020. The paint job is fine, it has some dust grains but it is not distinctive and disappears after a machine polish. Nice blank strips. The bumpers are in good working order. See pictures. The radiator masking has some minor bumps. See picture. Equipped with 5.5-inch sports wheels.

  • General condition:

    Nicely restored car with minor remarks. The overall impression is in terms of quality in the upper range of what you can expect from a well-renovated PV B16 Sport.

Facts about the model

Första serien (A) av PV544 tillverkades mellan 1958-1960 och var den mest sålda med 99 495 bilar tillverkade. Den första Sporten kom 1958 och hade den starkare B16B-motorn på 85. Den starkare motorn med bland annat dubbla förgasare var från början vikt enbart för USA-marknaden men i slutet av 1958 stod det klart att den gick att sälja även på hemmamarknaden, utan att importavgifterna i USA skulle höjas. Volvo PV började tillverkas 1947, då med beteckningen 444, och den sista PV 544:an lämnade bandet 1965 efter sammanlagt 440 000 exemplar.

  • 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.
