1960 Volvo P210 Duett

Domestically sold Volvo P210 Duett from 1960 with only two owners according to the Swedish Transport Agency. Current owners have many memories together with their grandfather who was the previous owner of the car. However, the grandfather has told us that there were probably one or two owners before him on the car, despite what the register says. Current owner's grandfather drove the car until he was close to 90 years old. His grandfather promised that "one day the boy would inherit the car", which has now happened. The current owner is sitting on many memories from Grandpa's time, including the constant 70km/h regardless of road width or surface, the dusty sacks of grain thrown into the luggage after being picked up at the local mill and the few festive occasions Grandpa lit a cigar at the same time he promised dearly and sacredly that he never inhaled! The current owner has not been given the opportunity to renovate his grandfather's car as desired and therefore it is now looking for a new owner. Current odometer reading is 49075km but cannot be guaranteed as the odometer reading has been stationary for a couple of years.

Equipped with 1.6-liter four B16A of approx. 60hp/110nm connected to a 3-speed manual box.

The car has been parked for several years but starts and runs but has accumulated a good amount of patina over the years. Last inspection was carried out in 1996. Sometime during the 90s, the car was repaired from rust and at the same time got new upholstery on the seats. The car starts and runs but will need to be looked over before any inspection is carried out. The current owner describes that there is rust on the bodywork, including in the hinges and various paint blisters and on the bottom edge. Window panes are described as being in good condition. Chrome has rust on it. The sheet metal rims have tires from the 90s mounted. They hold air and can be driven on but should not be used. To form an idea of the condition, please look through all the photos of the object.

The interior has wear on it, including worn textiles and general wear. However, seating surfaces have fared relatively well but are also stained. There are holes in the textile on the floor by the right front seat. The inner ceiling has holes and stains, but sits where it should. Steering wheel, buttons and controls have normal wear and tear from age but managed well.

Mechanically, the car is otherwise in OK condition. It starts and runs, but sometimes needs a little starting gas. It can work as a rolling project but should definitely be reviewed. The car was properly serviced in its earlier years but has now been standing since the 90s.

A perfect rolling project for those who likes renovating vehicles. With a little love for all things mechanical, you can get a nice original car with a patina from all the years it served as a faithful servant in the family!
