This is a very nice Volvo Duett from 1966. The car has already been completely restored and overhauled and still looks good. We see them very rarely and then often in far from good condition as this example. Are you looking for a contemporary Swedish transport car then this might just be the car for you. The body is in good condition. The sheet metal is neatly cared for and fits everywhere nicely. The paint was well painted at the time and is still in good condition apart from some light signs of use. The car stands on the original steel rims with Michelin tires in the correct sizes. It is obvious that this car has not had a hard life because the condition is still very good. Cars’s that have been used as company cars from day one have often not survived the battle. The two-tone paint, original Volvo mud flaps, sun visor and roof rack are the icing on the cake.
The interior is also in immaculate condition. The interior has already been completely reupholstered once. The interior of the Volvo is overtly geared towards working life and is therefore quite spartanly furnished. The well-seated seats are covered in gray vinyl and the luggage compartment is neatly finished. The dashboard is equipped with clear instruments and the controls are also neatly arranged. The Volvo in this case is powered by a 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine with a single carburetor that produces 75 horsepower. The engine is located lengthwise in the front and drives the rear wheels. Mated to a four-speed manual transmission, the engine makes light work of the not-too-heavy Swedish all-rounder. The technology has already been completely overhauled once. As such, the engine runs fine and the transmission shifts precisely. The brakes and chassis are well up to the task and give the car a pleasant ride. The Volvo is further beautifully documented. The car comes with two binders of documentation. In the two folders are among other things overviews relating to the restoration and overhaul, photo’s and general information about the car. In short, a very nice Volvo Duett in a condition that you will not easily find again.
