The appeal
The Volvo 122S Amazon has proved to be a formidable performer in rallying. Its ultra-solid construction, docile handling and unique styling made it a formidable competitor on the racetrack, and that legacy lives on today - a good one is ideal for historic events.
This 1966 model is a perfect ambassador. Designed specifically for historic rallying (VHRS competition), it has benefited from professional preparation in Sweden at Granath. It features a full competition configuration, including a roll bar, bucket seats with harnesses and a reinforced chassis - while retaining the legendary reliability of a Volvo.
The seller points out that there are very few vehicles of this type and level of preparation left in Europe, making this Amazon a rare and valuable opportunity for any enthusiast.image.png4.44 MB

✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photographs and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
