Basic information and History
The Volvo Amazon 121 was a mid-sized car manufactured by the Swedish car manufacturer Volvo between 1956 and 1970. The Amazon 121 was introduced in 1961 as a four-door sedan and was later followed by a two-door coupe and a five-door station wagon. It is worth noting that the Amazon was the first Volvo model to be widely exported and has subsequently gained popularity worldwide.

The Amazon 121 had a durable and reliable design with a strong emphasis on safety, which was characteristic of Volvo cars at the time.

The Amazon 121 is known for its distinctive styling, which was ahead of its time and showcased Volvo's commitment to both practicality and aesthetics. It had a classic and timeless look, with a prominent chrome grille, large windows for excellent visibility and a spacious interior for its size. The Amazon was also praised for its comfortable ride, solid build quality and robust technology.

This Swedish-sold example was delivered on 18-06-1968 to its first owner and the second owner took over the car on 01-11-1973 and owned the car until 2017 when his daughter took over ownership and then sold it on within the family in 2023.

    Är bilen besiktningsbefriad för all framtid? Eller krävs det ytterligare?

  • AmazonSellerAugust 03, 2023 19:06

    Svar JA, bilen är Besiktningsbefriad.

    Finns rost? I så fall var? 12 Voltare hoppas jag? Hur är lacken i skick? Inredning? Eller en enklare fråga, vilka är kända brister? Om du svarar vettigt får du ett bra bud! Tack på förhand!

  • AmazonSellerAugust 07, 2023 21:41

    hej och tack för dina frågor. Batteriet är 12 volt, lacken är absolut inget fel på, ej heller inredningen, men glöm inte att bilen ändå fyllt 55 år. enda kända bristen jag kan komma på är att passagerardörren ej går att öppna utifrån. för kännedom har bilen under tiden min fru ägt den endast körts till och från vinter resp sommarförvaring och det kanske handlar om max 20 mil/år. Hälsningar från ägaren Arne Andersson

    Hej! Synd tydliga spår av tidigare reparation, förmodligen rostskada, vid sandplåtarna. Är det något du gjort eller är det någon tidigare ägare?
