Description

This Amazon, with registration number AC 49593, began its life in Umeå with its first owner, Mr. Sjöström, who bought it new in 1960. It later had four other owners in the Umeå area until 1970, all documented on the original registration papers. The car remained in the Umeå region until a Volvo enthusiast and collector purchased it in 1991. He fully renovated the car in 1992, preserving the interior as much as possible, only replacing the headliner and floor mats. Since then, it has been driven just 500 kilometers over the past 30+ years.

A few years ago, some wooden panels fell in the owner's garage, scratching the paintwork around the rear wings and roof. When the current owner purchased the car, he decided to have it fully repainted instead of attempting to color-match the scratches. This repaint was completed a few months ago. The car has also undergone a full review, including a brake renovation and thorough checks to ensure everything is in working order, given its limited mileage over the last three decades.

Now in top running condition, the car looks fantastic both inside and out, with no issues or concerns. It is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come with only routine servicing. The mileage is likely around 133,000 km, given that it has only been driven 500 km in the last 30+ years. The car comes with original registration paperwork, handbooks, and the original sales brochure.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car has undergone a full review, servicing, and brake renovation, and it runs and drives without any issues. The wheels are in excellent condition, complemented by shining chrome hubcaps and good older tires. The boot space and engine bay are neat and tidy. The car is also inspection-exempt for life, making it ready to enjoy hassle-free.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in remarkably clean and well-kept condition, with the original seats undamaged, aside from a small mark on the driver’s seat. The headliner and rubber floor mats were replaced during the 1992 renovation, while the rest of the interior remains original. The door cards are in good condition, with a few minor marks. The dashboard, gauges, and steering wheel are all in nice working order, and though the dashboard pad has a few small cracks, it’s still the original. Overall, it’s a charming and comfortable space to sit and enjoy.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and undamaged, showing no signs of rust issues, and features a matching clean and undamaged underbody. The paintwork looks great as expected from a recent repaint. The chrome work all around is shiny and clean, with only a small scratch on the rear bumper. Additionally, the car is fitted with nice original Marchall spotlights, adding to its classic appeal.

  • General condition:

    This wonderful-looking car truly stands out and is perfect for any Volvo enthusiast to own and enjoy for many years to come, requiring only routine maintenance.

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.
