SUMMARY

54-years old, one former keeper, unrestored and only 15,995 miles...

 

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

Offered for sale is a 1.8L 1966 Volvo 131 Amazon manual that has been with the current owner for over 10 years. Coming with a partial history file, this lot's condition scores an impressive 106/135. 54-years old, one former keeper, unrestored and only 15,995 miles...

 

HRH' was originally registered on 1st October 1966 to Harry Edwards in Hull

He had an interest in a Volvo dealership and, with other cars available, 'HRH' was used sparingly

In 2005, after 39 years with Harry, our vendors's late husband inherited HRH'

Of a similar mind, he continued the long held tradition of garaging, cleaning and very little use

History file lost in a house fire but retains its original tool kit, radio blank and a copy logbook

Quite possibly the lowest mileage, ownership, and period-correct Volvo 121 to have been offered for sale in recent years

A remarkable find. The proverbial 'Silver Sixpence in the Christmas Pudding'
