"Sturdy Volvo PV in an honest condition with a fine provenance and a reasonable low mileage which is mirrored in the mechanical feeling."

Description

A PV 544A Sport with the soon outgoing B16 engine was the sportiest PV of the model year 1960. The dual carb B16B engine with a power output of 85 hp SAE (78 hp DIN) was originally an US export engine, but was offered as the Sport in other markets. The first series (A) of the PV 544 made between 1958-1960 was the best-selling series with 99,495 units manufactured.
This car was sold new in 1960, inherited by a son in 1989 and sold in 2017 to the current owner. The car has been left mainly untouched over the years and has a feeling of a carefully used car with a touch of cherished maintenance.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    One can tell from the overall mechanical feeling that this is a low mileage car. The 6V starter do sound a bit tired as they always do, but the engine runs great together with a direct feel of the gearbox.

  • Interior condition:

    A worn interior, but worn with style. It's really the same thing as with the exterior; untouched, and with moisture stains on the ceiling. The nitroglycerin tablets in the glove compartment are of course irrelevant, but they're still a part of the history. Well, we do know that the owner left them in as a

  • Exterior condition:

    Original paintwork with some surface rust, apart from the left rear corner that has an older repspray from a damage during the first ownership. A polish would most certainly even out the difference in tone, but this is at the same time part of the car's history.

  • General condition:

    Ready to roll. It all adds up to a lovely provenance; the few owners, the documentation, the unsentimental look and that original, untouched feeling.
