Description

This car was delivered new in 1957 to Gösta Johansson, a well-known Swedish boat builder, and was owned by him and his family until the early 2000s, when it was sold to a few Volvo enthusiasts. The current owner purchased the car in 2007 and began a renovation on it. The car was in good condition but the rear wings needed replacing "plastic ones" were fitted and the car was fully repainted by the owner who is a professional painter. Following the renovation, the owner fitted a completely new interior with the assistance of specialist supplier "VP Parts" and older style grey clothe. The car was originally equipped with a three-speed transmission, but it was later upgraded to a four-speed transmission, making it a much better driver's car.
Since it's been in storage for years, all it needs is a light service oil change and a polishing of the chrome. The current mileage of 80,000 km could be 180,000 km?

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts easily and runs and drives very well in the B16 motor,gears and brakes with no strange noise or vibrations. The engine bay is very clean dry and has good white wall tires allround.

  • Interior condition:

    New interior was installed 10+ years ago to a high standard in grey cloth on the seats and door cards. Nice mats and a very clean and fresh headliner. Everything appears to be brand new.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork is still in excellent condition, with a deep lustre, no visible damage or rust, and a good and clean underbody. The split chrome front window, chrome search light, marshall spot lights "not connected" and round bonnet emblems are all nice touches. The chrome work is in good condition with some oxidation but is easily improved with a polish.

  • General condition:

    This is a turn key classic Volvo that is ideal for an enthusiast or someone looking to get into the classic car world but does not require mechanical expertise.

  • 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.
