Volvo Amazon

First registered on the 1st January 1967 this 121 model is fitted with the later 2.o litre fuel injected engine giving her first time starting, with more power & torque.

A large file of receipts shows recent works that include upgraded springs, new shock absorbers, front brakes, sports exhaust, hoses, new front & rear windscreen rubbers, door seals boot seal, window scrapers etc., etc.

Recent new tyres on her American wheels sets the period look.

Her coachwork is finished in Motta Rossa Schro (I'd call it Sebring red), although not concours, she certanly shines well.
The contrast of the interior/exterior must be see to be appreciated.





Her interior has had a partial retrim with a bespoke gear selector consol, door cards & glove boxes for the driver & passenger.

Comfort escorts Volvo's performance & reliability.


A recent service/shake down has been carried out for a trip to Spa. 11 months mot & tax until the ed of December 2009 accompany her & remember she is a historic class vehicle so no road fund licence to pay.

Eligible for most historic events this is something that is certainly a lttle different.
