Description
A very distinctive take on one of Volvo’s classic utility vehicles. This 1965 Volvo P210 Duett has been converted into a compact pickup in the style of a “Golfclub Express”, combining the unmistakable appearance of the Duett with an open rear load bed.
Finished in red, the car presents very nicely overall. There are some minor imperfections to the paintwork, as can be expected from a classic of this age, but the car is described as ready to enjoy.
Under the bonnet is a 1, 584 cc Volvo overhead-valve four-cylinder engine, producing a reported 67 hp, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Power is sent to the rear wheels.
One of the interesting characteristics of the P210 Duett is its ladder-frame chassis. Unlike most conventional passenger cars of the period, the Duett was designed with utility and durability in mind, making it a particularly suitable basis for this pickup-style conversion.
The car is reported to drive well and brake well.
The five-digit odometer currently shows 24, xxx. Due to the age of the vehicle and the five-digit odometer, the total distance travelled cannot be verified and no claim is made regarding the car’s actual lifetime mileage.
The car is located in the Netherlands and can be viewed by appointment.
Worldwide shipping can be arranged. We can assist with transport and export to destinations throughout Europe and overseas. As an indication, shipping to the US West Coast is approximately €2, 000. Final transport costs depend on destination, port, transport method and current shipping rates.

This is certainly not a Volvo you are likely to see parked next to another one at your local classic-car meeting.
The P210 Duett was originally designed as a practical working vehicle, combining Volvo’s dependable mechanical components with a strong ladder-frame chassis and an exceptionally useful body. This particular example takes that practical character one step further with its distinctive “Golfclub Express” pickup conversion.
The result is a classic with a completely different personality from a standard Duett. The upright cab, simple chrome detailing, bright red paintwork and compact open load bed give it the appearance of a small 1960s coachbuilt utility vehicle.
Mechanically, it remains refreshingly straightforward: a naturally aspirated Volvo four-cylinder engine, manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. It is the kind of classic where simplicity is part of the appeal.
It could make an especially interesting vehicle for a collector, events, a golf club, hotel, hospitality business or simply someone looking for an unusual classic that can actually be used and enjoyed.
There may be faster or more valuable classics, but very few combine Swedish charm, practicality and individuality quite like this P210 pickup.
For someone looking for something genuinely different without moving into exotic-car territory, this 1965 Volvo P210 Duett “Golfclub Express” is a very appealing proposition.
