Description

For sale is an exceptional Volvo Amazon (first registered in 1966), built and successfully campaigned as a rally car. This vehicle combines the legendary robustness of the Amazon with genuine motorsport history—ideal for winter rallies, long-distance events, and historic competitions.

History & Motorsport DNA
The car was specifically built by a Swedish racing driver for gravel rallies and successfully competed, among others, in the Midnattssolsrallyt 2014. In 2017, it was acquired by the current owner, who subsequently entered the Amazon in various ice and long-distance rallies (covering distances of approximately 3,000–4,000 km). This history makes the car an authentic, proven competition vehicle.

Why the Volvo Amazon?
The Volvo Amazon is regarded as one of the most robust classics of its era. Its strong body structure, forgiving handling, and excellent parts availability still make it a top platform for historic rallying today. Especially on snow and ice, the Amazon impresses with traction, durability, and ease of maintenance—perfect conditions for events such as the Monte Carlo Historique or the Planai Classic.

Conclusion
A true rally classic with documented history, FIA papers, and a proven winter setup. Ideal for drivers who want to compete rather than simply display. Whether winter rallying, endurance events, or historic competition, this Volvo Amazon provides a solid foundation for use across a wide range of formats.
