The Appeal
The Volvo Amazon 122S has earned a formidable reputation in historic rallying, its robust construction and "bomb-proof" engine making it a natural competitor. This 1966 example has been specifically prepared for fast road rallying, offering a purposeful and competitive package for anyone looking to get behind the wheel of a proven rally machine.
Under the bonnet sits Volvo's legendary 1,800cc four-cylinder engine, producing a healthy 135 BHP. It has recently been tuned on a rolling road and is reported to be in very healthy order. The vendor states the car is in very good condition and drives really well, with brakes and clutch reported to be in good order. The interior has been stripped out to suit its rally purpose. The vendor notes some minor bubbling on the bottom sills but reports the car is very solid and strong underneath for its age.
