In 1956. a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was
released. The car became known as the Amazon in Sweden but badged
the 121 and 122 S on the export market. In September 1961. yet
another version based on the 121/122 S was presented. a two door
saloon. This version was an eagerly awaited model. particularly by
the Swedish market. as Sweden was a typical market for two door
cars at that time. The station wagon (estate) version was
introduced at the 1962 Stockholm Auto Show and Volvo manufactured
73. 00 examples between 1962 and 1969. The Amazon estate featured a
two-piece tailgate with the lower section folding down to provide a
load surface and the upper section that hinged overhead. The
vehicle's rear license plate. attached to the lower tailgate. could
'fold up' such that when the tailgate was lowered and the vehicle
in use. the license plate was still visible. The Amazon platform
was used as the basis for the P 1800 and 1800 ES.
This award winning Amazon Estate was originally registered on
6 th April 1966 and the previous owner had owned the car
for 17 years. The coachwork is in excellent order as is the
interior trim which appears to be original. Mechanically. these
Volvos are very robust this example had a re-conditioned engine
fitted some eight years ago. The under bonnet area and chassis are
in splendid order and the overall condition of LWB 102 D is
excellent. Supplied with a V 5 registration document and an Mo T test
certificate valid until March 2016. this Volvo Amazon Estate drives
as good as she looks.
