The entrant of this right-hand drive Volvo 122S claims that it is a one owner car with paintwork, interior and engine that are all in excellent condition for a 1966 manufactured car. The 55,413 miles recorded when entered for this sale is believed by the vendor to be the genuine total number of miles driven from new. Originally built at what was then a new car factory at Torslanda, west of Gothenburg, the sports saloon being auctioned is one of 667,323 of the post-Amazon 121/122S models to have been made by the Swedish owned firm which has since become a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company.
With their straightforward front-engined, rear wheel drive mechanical layout, these Scandinavian classics with their ageless styling are a thoroughly practical proposition for everyday use. Being engineered to endure the at times inhospitable conditions of real winters in the frozen north and being powered by simple and bomb-proof motors designed by Folker Zachrisson and Erling Kurt, the 122S has also justly earned a legendary reputation among enthusiasts for giving tough and reliable service on rallies, this particular example being eligible and eminently suitable for road rallying in the pre-1967 historic rally category. The second owner of this sports saloon has plenty of MOT Test time and unexpired tax disc in stock to enjoy too.
Please note: Whilst driving the vehicle to the sale, the vendor reported the speedo stopped working.
