1965 Volvo Amazon 121 B18 One family owner car! 80% first paint, For Sale

In 1956, Volvo took a completely new path with the Amazon, a very beautifully designed sedan, available with two or four doors. In addition to the beautiful design, excellent driving characteristics and very good reliability, safety is also of paramount importance at Volvo. For example, the Amazon is the first car with seatbelts as standard equipment. Three-point seat belts also appear for the first time in the Swedish sedan. The 121, with only two doors, is generally regarded as the most beautiful of the series and that is exactly the version we offer here.

Christmas is just over when the first owner of this beautiful light blue Amazon collects his car. On December 30, 1965, the keys are handed over and the car is cherished for decades. Maintenance and repairs are carried out punctually and the car does not have a hard life. When the owner dies, his wife keeps the car and only when she also dies is it time for a new owner: the couple’s daughter. The car continues to be treated with care, as anyone who drives a car that their parents bought new does. In recent years, the car has been used so little that the daughter thinks it is time for a new chapter and that chapter therefore starts in Brummen.

The body of the Amazon is in an extremely original condition. 80% is still in the original paint, the few other parts have been given a new coat of paint at some point. There is no rust and imperfections can only be found with difficulty. Chrome, wheels and tires are in excellent condition, as are the lighting parts.
The interior is also very original. The upholstery is the original and it is still in beautiful condition. The family has always had seat covers over the original upholstery, so everything has been beautifully preserved. The carpet has already been replaced. The dashboard with all original parts is also in beautiful condition.

The Amazon drives excellently, as we can expect from a B18. The smooth engine with 75 hp does its job without grumbling and the gearbox fits in with it. Brakes, chassis and steering all do their job properly, as is almost always the case with a reliable Amazon.

A unique opportunity to purchase a very stylish Amazon 121 B18 that has only belonged to one family.
