Description
This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .It is a rare "HS" version, a special version of the regular "H" model, which in turn was an improvement over the "E" version. It was more expensive than the typical one and was presented for the first time in 1949. It had a "dove gray" colour with bumpers fitted with additional elements and a luxurious red interior.
The interior was renovated about 3 years ago so it is in a very good condition. Upholstery selected as close to the original as possible. A new layer of paint inside. The chrome elements in a good condition, with traces of wear and age. The vehicle body was renovated several years ago. The floor elements have been renovated and secured. Some body parts, which were more damaged, were replaced with new ones, the rest is secured. The side members (chassis) are in a good condition. There may be superficial traces of rust resulting from age. Overall, however, the sheet is strong and there are no holes. The thresholds are strong. The body does not have large traces of corrosion, but in a few places there are small traces of rust. The paint looks good, but due to age, it has some traces of wear, small scratches, small abrasions, cavities, discoloration. Some chrome bumper components are rusty and need to be replaced or renewed. The bumpers, originally, are composed of several elements, so you do not need to replace the whole.
In a good technical condition. With a new battery, new generator, spark plugs, oil, filters, ignition distributor. The transmission (4-speed, replaced) works flawlessly, the gear shift is smooth. Volvo B20 engine with a capacity of about 2l and a power of about 82 hp, refurbished. The engine is functional, the car accelerates well, even better than many modern cars. Driving at 100 km/h is not a problem for this car. Light leaks are visible, but it is a norm for such a vehicle. Original 6V installation, all lights are functional. The wiper system is working, but you need to connect it to the engine to make it work. The steering, braking system and suspension are functional, but due to age they are not in a perfect condition and may require attention. With almost new tyres. The car can be used on a daily basis.
Volvo registered in Poland as a vintage vehicle with an indefinite inspection (no need to do inspections). One owner. I will be happy to help with transport and formalities. Localization: Czosnów, Masovian Voivodeship (next to Warsaw).
