"The owner recently spent over 29,000kr on interior updates and vital replacements, including the radiator, Zenith carburetor, cylinder head gasket, spark plugs, cables, distributor cap, rotor, and rear exhaust. As a result, the car runs smoothly in terms of engine, gearbox, and brakes. It's worth noting that the car is permanently exempt from inspection/MOT requirements."

Description

This car's history is captivating, featuring three owners since its inception. The current owner connected with Ulla, who bought the car new in 1962 and owned it for five decades before selling it in 2012. After passing through a classic car collector's hands, the car found its way to the current owner in 2020. The search for history began due to missing documents, but a lucky find of a nameplate with Ulla's name led to contact with her. Recorded mileage was 634 km in 2000 and now stands at 36,347 km. Ulla's estimate puts the likely total around 136,000 km, primarily from local drives, though no formal proof exists. The car comes with ample recent documentation, receipts, an older warranty book, and past registration papers.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mention above lots of new replacement part fitted and has been properly service and drive often during the summer months, no issue with how the car runs and drive good gearshift and brake and feels stable on the road the only remark is the carbuetor needs a proper tunning and adjustment to be perfect. Another bonus is the car has had a professional rust prevention under coat. Wheel would look better with a repainted but has good tires. Thermostat need fitting with a 71c temp resitance but parts were out of stock.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is clean and tidy with a newly fitted headliner, rubber floor mats, gearsjhift and handbrake gator and lower interior panel and rear parcel shelf plus rear view mirror. The front seat has rip that can be easily repair and some small damages to the vinly of the seat backs "see pictures" Dashboard is nice and has an good no damage vinyl top and good instrumentation and a few scratches on the glovebox lid. Otherwise the whole interior is fresh and clean.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's bodywork is clean, straight, and displays a well-maintained underbody (as shown in the pictures). Partial repainting has occurred, particularly around the rear wings and side panels, with some older repair signs on the doors. Variations in paint tone are visible around the wings and rear panels, alongside a few minor blemishes. Chrome work is bright, except for a small dent on the left rear bumper and the grill. Importantly, rust is not an issue with this car.

  • General condition:

    For those seeking a dependable classic Volvo PV, this car fits the bill perfectly. It promises trouble-free motoring for years to come. A potential enhancement could be achieved by undertaking a proper wet sanding and polish on the paint, if desired.
