Description

This Swedish-sold Amazon has had only two registered owners, excluding the Volvo dealer who originally sold the car. The current owner purchased it in 1992 from a local man who had passed away. Shortly after the purchase, the car underwent a renovation, including new front wings and a repaint in its original color, "Code 91." While the car was already in good condition, the owner, like any true Volvo enthusiast, found areas to improve. Over the past 30-plus years, the following work has been done:

All rubber bushings under the car replaced
Fuel system reviewed, with a new fuel pump installed
New exhaust system
Wheel bearings replaced
New chrome bumpers
Seats renovated with new padding
Engine overhauled with a new camshaft and full gasket set
Brake system fully reviewed, with worn parts replaced
Carburetor reviewed, and a new air filter fitted

The car has always been maintained in top condition, with any issues promptly addressed. It's been garage-kept during winters and only driven in the summer. The mileage has turned over twice, now showing 200,018 km. It comes with an extensive collection of original documentation (see pictures).

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    There are no issues or remarks to report. The car runs and drives well, with a tidy engine bay and boot space. It has nice wheels, good tires, and is inspection exempt forever.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in very good condition, with no significant damage. The front and rear seats are well-maintained, and the headliner, door cards, and mats are in great shape. The dashboard and instrumentation are working well, with only a small crack on the vinyl dashboard pad. Both seats feature headrests, and a basket-style center console adds a nice touch.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with good panel alignment, showing no dents or signs of rust. The underbody is clean and matches the bodywork, with a newer exhaust system fitted. The paint has a nice, shiny finish, with only a few barely noticeable touch-ups. The chrome work is bright and undamaged, with the rear boot handle and bonnet trim gold-plated; an extra chrome boot handle is included. The only minor issue is a small dent on the rear window chrome trim. The car has alsso bee Tectyl treated.

  • General condition:

    This car ticks all the boxes: two owners, well-maintained, full documentation, and carefully looked after by its owner. It has been driven every year as a summer car. It's perfect for anyone seeking a trouble-free car to enjoy for many years to come.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • 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.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
