"A very nice and complete car with several parts that just need to be fitted and the majority of the renovation work completed. Now that the assembly is complete, it is an ideal car for a handyman who may not have the time to do the entire renovation themselves; a few winter tasks and you'll have a driving exhibition car for the spring."

Description

A Swedish and honest Duett with a split windscreen purchased new by Clas Norman from Vilhelmina for his company "Normans Livsmedel" at Volgsjövägen, where this Duett transported goods across Västerbotten. Clas kept this well-groomed Duet all his life.

The old registration certificate can be used to create a new registration. Due to health issues, the present owner is unable to continue with the renovation and has decided to pass the baton.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The next step in the renovation will be to check and assemble the original engine, which has been in the car since it was new. It is now dismantled in boxes. The parts look perfectly okay but need an overhaul before everything is put together. Otherwise, the chassis is ready except that new brake pipes need to be mounted, a new master cylinder is available.

  • Interior condition:

    Assembly started with the seat, followed by the interior and exterior. The headliner material is missing, but the frames are among the spare parts

  • Exterior condition:

    All sub-work was completed with great care and precision by trained professionals in the old-fashioned way. Before painting the car with the highest quality primers and top paint, it is sanded down to the bare metal. Photographic documentation can be found on this page. The paint job is excellent. The doors are only hung there after they have been painted, so they require delicate adjustment to be right. A minor paint chip has happened at the left door frame (see image), most likely during door construction, but paint is available for repairing.

  • General condition:

    A well-started renovation with a rich history and documentation. It will need some fine tuning before it is finalized, but it has the potential to be a really wonderful Duett.

Facts about the model

PV445 introducerades under sommaren 1953 och var baserad på Volvo PV 444. Modellen var tänkt att öppna upp en ny marknad för dem som var i behov av en stor, rymligare bil. Namnet "duett" kommer från Volvos tanke om att använda bilen som både yrkesbil, och fritidsbil. Bilen formgavs av ingenjören Erik Skoog.

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.
