Description
With the Amazon, Volvo set a course in 1956 that would define the brand for decades: solid, safe and built to keep on driving. Jan Wilsgaard drew the robust, timeless lines; barely a few years after its introduction, the Amazon became one of the first cars in the world to have a three-point seat belt as standard equipment. This 131 is the two-door version, the somewhat rarer and more streamlined variant within the Amazon family, alongside the better-known four-door. This is the Amazon you buy because you want to drive it.
This 1965 Amazon 131 was imported into the Netherlands in 2009; the current owner has had the car for the past two years. The indicated mileage is 23,782. The Amazon's odometer rolls over to zero after 99,999 km, meaning the actual total distance cannot be established with certainty. Both cosmetically and mechanically, the car is still virtually in its original condition, with well-maintained mechanics. Before the handover, the car will receive a complete service, so you can get behind the wheel without a worry.
By far the largest part of this Amazon is still original, including the standard B18 engine and four-speed manual gearbox. There are four deliberate deviations from the factory specification: the original rubber floor mat has been replaced with carpeting; electric EZ power steering has been fitted, noticeably making steering at low speeds and parking easier; the original dynamo has been replaced by an alternator for more reliable charging; and the brakes have been fitted with a brake booster. All four modifications are essentially reversible, although the original parts are no longer with the car.
The Amazon is finished in its original colour, Gyllengul (golden yellow), colour code 84, a sunny, characteristically Swedish shade that shows off the robust forms of the 131 to good effect. The exterior was resprayed in the past in the same colour; the original paint is still present in the engine bay and boot, confirming the correct colour code. The car sits on original, closed steel wheels with chrome rings, combined with whitewall tyres that suit the character of the Amazon perfectly. The interior is trimmed in original brown vinyl and is in very good condition.
This Amazon drives just as an Amazon should: robust, direct and trouble-free. Ideal for a sociable Sunday drive with family or friends.
Because of its age, the Amazon is exempt from the APK inspection requirement. We are handling the sale of this Volvo Amazon 131 on behalf of the owner and would be pleased to show it to you in person in Voorschoten.
