Basic information and history

The Volvo 122 Sport – also known as the "Amazon Sport" – is an icon among Swedish classics, appreciated for its robust construction, sporty character and timeless design. For the collector or enthusiast looking for a piece of Swedish automotive history in excellent condition, a rare opportunity is now offered.

This example is the result of an extensive bolt-and-screw renovation where over 700 working hours were invested between 2023 and 2025. The car has been completely dismantled down to the bare metal body before being rebuilt and repainted for 60,000 SEK – all carried out with precision and consideration for the original details. The engine and gearbox are newly renovated and all the electrical wiring has been rewired.

1. Odometer reading: 6,900 km (probably after renovation)
2. Number of previous users: 5
3. Number of miles after engine overhaul: Only 150 miles driven
4. Renovation: Complete body renovation, new paint, new electricity

All important parts have been renovated or replaced to restore the car to near-new condition while preserving Swedish design history.
