"I have rarely driven such a quiet and smooth Amazon; it starts easily and runs quietly and nicely on the road – a true prime example of an almost untouched sixty-year-old."

"I have rarely driven such a quiet and smooth Amazon; it starts easily and runs quietly and nicely on the road – a true prime example of an almost untouched sixty-year-old."

Description

An unusually fine Amazon that has made it through the years without major issues. It has been in Norrland since new and has been very well preserved from rust, largely thanks to a previous owner’s careful rustproofing treatment and maintenance of minor paint damage. The car is of very high quality, and the only noticeable flaws are a slightly dented front fender, some initial rust bubbles at the bottom edge on the left side, and early rust formation on the right front fender near the headlight mount and the door pillar. Otherwise, the car is in remarkably good condition for its age. The engine and gearbox are most likely original.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts easily and runs incredibly quietly and smoothly. The gearbox and the rest of the drivetrain work without issues, although the clutch engages slightly high. The brakes operate evenly and well, with no vibrations from the wheels or suspension while driving. The exhaust system is intact and tight. The electrical system is fault-free, and all gauges function properly. The original radio has not been tested. Spare keys are missing.

  • Interior condition:

    The original upholstery is in good condition, with a small tear on the back of the driver’s seat (see photo). The headliner is intact and clean except for a small tear (see photo). The dashboard is almost completely intact, with only a minor crack in the padding. All instruments work without issues. The floor mats are original and in normal condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Good paintwork, which has probably been touched up at the front at some point. There are no visible signs of old repairs. The left front fender has light dents (see photos), and the same fender shows early rust around the headlight and at the rear edge near the door pillar. There are no visible rust issues on the fenders at their mounts in the engine bay, on the sills, floor panels, or in the trunk. The wheel arches are in normal condition, and the door gaps are good. Chrome trim and rubber seals are in normal condition. The engine bay is clean and tidy, as is the luggage compartment, where even the spare wheel well has been spared from rust. The car is fitted with nice 5.5-inch rims and good whitewall tires (see photos). The radio antenna is missing. The chrome trim is generally in good or normal condition, with some marks on the drip rails from a roof rack. No pitting is visible on the handles or headlight bezels.

  • General condition:

    A very fine car that runs without any problems.

Owner's comment

Unfortunately, it has to be sold as it is used too little and I need the space for a new project.

Facts about the model

There is no documentation of the car’s history apart from what can be found online. Based on that information, it is likely that the car has only covered just over 160,000 km.

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.

  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
