Description
Offered for sale is this 1961 Volvo PV544.
In our ownership, we decided to make some useful, meaningful upgrades and improvements, while giving the car a nod towards the PV’s rally heritage credentials.
The following works have just been completed:
- New upgraded alternator
- New engine mountings
- New Panhard rod
- Rally specification needle upgrade to SU carburettors, along with new trumpets
- Front seats recovered with original specification covers
- New kick panels in footwell
- Rally spot lamps
- Rally decals added to door
- Full service and MOT
It is fitted with the correct B1800 engine and 4-speed transmission. Restored around 10 years ago, the underside of the car presents in excellent order, and whilst the paint does show some small signs of age and wear, the overall package is very visually appealing.
It drives and performs well and is very capable in modern traffic.
PV544’s are increasingly rare to the market, and this one has had a thoughtful refresh that really makes the most of what the car has to offer.
This vehicle is being sold by the production company, ITN, in connection with the television series ANT ANSTEAD: BORN MECHANIC currently available to watch on discovery+. It would be a condition of sale that we request the buyer appear on camera, collecting the car from our presenter Ant Anstead in mid-November, after which the car can be taken away. Viewing is welcome at our facility in Market Harborough.
