EXTERIORA beautiful condition one example finished in factory original Midnight Blue. This stunning car has a deep gloss lustre that looks incredible. All the chrome shines and the trim and badging remains intact and correct. One wing top has tiny marking and front grille has discoloured slightly. All four optional Volvo mud-flaps are still fitted and remain in excellent condition. An exemplary Volvo suitable for a discerning collector.
INTERIORThe Volvo PV544 Special II was the most luxurious of the four variants offered in the Swedish market and this interior is wonderful. Upholstery code 22-141 gives the Blue/Grey finish with salt 'n' pepper fabric. Never fitted with carpets all the flooring still retains the original grey Volvo rubber covering in excellent order. All the gauges function correctly including the 'thermometer' style speedometer. The two speed interior fan is inoperative and the indicators are slow some at times. The black rubber boot mat is undamaged and the spare is still fitted with a cross-ply tyre. A beautifully preserved interior.
ENGINE&TRANSMISSIONThis vehicle is fortunately still fitted with the original B16A four cylinder engine making it correct in every manner. Incredibly the optional Motovarmare. (engine block heater) is still fitted to aid cold starting. With the Zenith down-draught carburettor this engine produces a respectable 65bhp at 4500rpm and runs perfectly. It has a brand new 6v battery fitted and the car has just been serviced. The four speed floor mounted transmission is solid and reassuring.  
WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKESPressed balanced steel wheels with immaculate and correct chrome Volvo hubcaps are shod in new Marshal steel radial 165 R15 tyres. White wall bands have been applied to the tyres. Self hydraulic drum brakes all-round require a firm application compared to modern standards.
HISTORY FILEManufactured in the launch year of the Volvo PV544. 1958. this vehicle remained in the Swedish home market until 1997. It belonged to a retired Volvo mechanic who had two identical vehicles in Midnight Blue. and this was the one he planned to use when his daily one gave up. but it never did! This helps to explain the wonderful condition of this example. Having only had the one UK owner+myself since coming to the UK this vehicle will make a new owner immensely proud.
