Description
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine, gearbox, clutch, chassis, and brakes all feel normal, with that familiar, solid Volvo B18 character. The engine was rebuilt by a previous owner, and the current owner has replaced all brake components, while the carburetor has recently received a new gasket set including a new diaphragm.
-
Interior condition
New, intact, attractive, and clean interior in the classic red cloth and vinyl. Nice headliner, door panels, and above all, a preserved original carpet. The wrinkle finish on the instrument cluster has come loose in a couple of places.
-
Exterior condition
Attractive older repaint, with small bubbles in the sheet metal between the right rear door and fender. The car has been regularly rustproofed over the years. The chrome looks good from a distance, but there is minor pitting on the bumpers and grille. Nice newly manufactured bias-ply tires from 2021, period-correct and attractive in appearance, and they perform better than one might expect.
-
General condition
Sensible, handsome, and in just the right condition for summer use, as the car was used back in the day. There is not much documentation telling of the car's provenance and history, other than that the first three owners together have likely shared 59 years of its 64-year existence.

Facts about the model
Even though the more modern sibling model, the Amazon, had been on the market since 1956, the reliable and charming PV 544 remained deeply loved by Swedish car owners until production finally ended in October 1965.

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.
