There are no fees, no customs duty, or any other fees if going to any part of the UK, apart from transportation cost.
The interior of the car is exceptional and has been upgraded and improved without taking anything away from its 1960's original look.
Externally the car is not a show car and will need bodywork and paint. However the car is presentable and usable as is, and certainly would not embarrass itself at any local car events this summer season.
The Volvo Amazon was introduced to the world in 1956. Named after the female warriors in Greek mythology, it is still one of the most iconic models in Volvo's history.
With its elegant, timeless styling the Amazon broke new ground for Volvo differing greatly from the common perception of what a Volvo should look like.
In 1958 the 122S (S for Sports) was introduced, with more power and a much wanted four-speed gearbox making the car very attractive in the public eye. Known as the Amazon in Sweden and the 121 and 122S in export market.
Despite its substantial appearance, it was one of the sportiest European saloons of the 1960s. Volvo's factory driver, Carl-Magnus Skogh, won the 1965 Acropolis Rally in Greece driving a 122S.
The man responsible for the design was 26-year-old Jan Wilsgaard, who went on to become Volvo's head of design for many years.
Please bear in mind this old girl is 57 years old & should not be compared to a modern car.
Unless advertised as Concours (a show vehicle in pristine condition) there will be imperfections, blemishes & age related wear & tear in there somewhere, even if not apparent on first viewing. It is inevitable that some degree of tinkering and care will be called for.
Owning a classic car is a hobby & you will spend time & money in ongoing care & maintenance. You should take this into consideration before buying a classic car.
