Basic Information and History

The Volvo PV544E Sport from 1964 is an icon among Swedish classics – a model that marked the end of the PV era but also the pinnacle of sportiness and driving pleasure. 1964 was the final year for the PV544, and the Sport version with its B18 engine quickly became an enthusiast’s favorite, both on country roads and rally stages.

This car is a Swedish-sold Volvo PV544E Sport 1.8 Manual (90 hp, model year 1964), with matching numbers on engine and chassis. The odometer shows only 9,500 km since the restoration. In total, the car has had 6 owners, including dealers.

The vehicle has undergone a very extensive and carefully documented restoration to an excellent condition, with photos and receipts available. A true rarity for the enthusiast – both in terms of provenance, execution, and the high level of restoration.

Details include: the car is painted in Cherry Red (repainted in 2017, including underneath), new emblems, overhauled brakes and brake lines, and a completely new interior, including roof and trim.
