KEY FACTS
- This Volvo Amazon is a remarkably well-preserved example of the characterful classic saloon car, offered in very good, highly original condition.
- Under the bonnet sits a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated ‘B16A’ overhead-valve inline-four, producing around 60bhp and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
- The odometer shows 71,544 kilometres, which is believed to be accurate, however this is not warranted.
- This Amazon was first registered in January 1960, and is now offered for sale by its sixth owner, who acquired the car 15 months ago.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
- This Amazon is finished in dark blue with a grey roof, over a white vinyl and grey cloth-trimmed interior, featuring a black upper dashboard and door card sections, with a body-coloured lower dashboard and upper doors, punctuated by chrome trim accents.
- It rides on a set of 15-inch steel wheels finished in dark blue, with chrome lips and red-accented chrome hub caps, shod with BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial white wall tyres.
- The factory specification includes a two-spoke steering wheel, manually operated windows, push-out front and rear quarter light windows, heater and ventilation controls, and a folding rear armrest.
- The car will be accompanied by a spare wheel, a jack, and the owner’s handbooks.
CONDITION
- The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage.
- The original dark blue and grey paintwork is reported to be in excellent overall condition. There is condensation on the offside front indicator, slight pitting on the nearside grille oval, scratches and rust spots on the chrome nearside rear roof trim, and minor scratches and pitting on the fuel filler cap.
- Inside, the cabin is presented in good shape, though there is slight discolouration on the rear passenger door card near the handle, small blemishes on the offside rear upper door, slight discolouration on the driver’s side rear passenger door card trim, minor discolouration on the passenger dashboard trim, chips on the upper driver’s door, deterioration on the driver’s door lock pin, scratches on the driver’s door sill, and mild stretching on the seats, with an area of wear on the driver’s seat back.
- The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults.
SUMMARY
This Volvo Amazon is a remarkably well-preserved example of the marque’s stylish classic saloon car, offered in very good, highly original condition. Presented in a handsome two-tone factory colour scheme and with elegant styling, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of classics, and a wonderful companion for weekend jaunts, car show visits, and family touring alike.
