Description
A 1964 Volvo 122 'Amazon' Saloon. In-line 1, 778cc engine mated to a later five-speed Volvo gearbox from a Volvo 240. Just drove a 2 hour trip in September so buyers can be sure it drives well without fault.
Mileage is a typo, it's 106, 000. around 2, 000 miles since the engine rebuild.
Car isn't without fault and needs a little work to bring it up to scratch as with any classic car that's 60 years old. Mechanically it's good, engine runs sweet and drives no issue. Rust wise, it's solid underneath and in the arches etc, just a few bits of rust on the bonnet and bootlid, spares are provided with the car. Few other things to note too such as loose wires inside for the interior lights, broken front light glass (light still works). All the parts needed and more are available at brookhouse volvo.
