Highlights

Twin-carburettor 'S' specification with the B20 engine
Just two former registered keepers
Fitted with period-correct 15-inch Cosmic alloy wheels
Recently serviced and tuned, we are told
From the final model year before the Amazon ceased production in 1970

The Appeal

This 1969 Volvo 122S Amazon forms part of the carefully curated Blaauwbank Collection, which includes an eclectic mix of multi-generational cars, stored in purpose-built, climate-controlled dry-storage hangars in the arid climate of Central South Africa.

The Volvo 122S Amazon is one of the most celebrated Swedish classics ever produced, renowned for its rugged dependability and handsome Scandinavian lines. The twin-carburettor 'S' variant, equipped with the later B20 engine producing around 118hp, represents the most sporting expression of the Amazon range. By 1969, the two-door was the primary body style offered before production ended entirely in 1970, making these late examples increasingly sought after.

This particular car presents in an attractive off-white over red colour combination and sits on period-correct 15-inch Cosmic alloy wheels. With just two former registered keepers, it appears to have been well looked after throughout its life. A recent service and tune-up means it is reported to be a capable cruiser, ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Proper 122S Amazons are becoming increasingly difficult to source, and this two-door example with its desirable specification represents a worthwhile opportunity for the Volvo enthusiast or discerning classic car collector.
