1967 Volvo 121 4 door Amazon SOLD
B20 engine with single Stromberg CD175se Carburettor and 123 electronic distributor.
Manual 4 speed gearbox.
I have owned this car for 12 years and has been my daily driver throughout.
Very capable car in modern traffic.
As my main car I've made sure it is regularly maintained.
My last insurance quote was £70 and the car is tax exempt and doesn't require an mot.
Has electronic ignition (modern sets of points seem to be made from tinfoil) and a starter motor from a 940 volvo.
Alternator fitted to replace dynamo.
Engine is a B20 and had a partial rebuild in 2016. Was fitted with D cam which means can be made twin carb by bolting on manifold.
Timing gear was replaced last year.
Oil changed every 3000 miles.
Car performs well in modern traffic. Doesn't have overdrive but motorway journeys are still doable if only a little noisier.
I have happily driven it to the Isle of Mull in Scotland and up and down the motorways and has been faultless.
My regular commute ( before covid) was about 50 miles a day and the car coped really well.
The car has an interesting history and I have some copies of original documents.
Living outside does mean it has rust in the usual spots. Structurally the car is very sound where it matters.

Very beautifully restored P220 S with photo album of the restoration. Delivered new in California and only in the Netherlands since a few years. The combi had never seen road salt in California and was rock hard and bone dry. It was therefore a deliberate choice for the current owner to choose this very Amazon. He carried ...
