Description
VOLV0 PV544 1961 3. 5 LITRE V8. This is a really stunning car in beautiful condition. Imported from Sweden in 1994 and all work carried out between 2014 and 2017 to a very high standard.
Re-painted in its original colour 10 years ago and still looks stunning today especially with the louvered bonnet.
The engine was fully rebuilt and upgraded with SD1 cylinder heads, 3 core radiator, twin electric cooling fans, Edelbrock 500cfm 4 barrel carburettor and inlet manifold and twin exhausts giving a perfect V8 soundtrack and admired wherever she go.
The gearbox was also fully rebuilt and upgraded to the stronger BW65 automatic gearbox with oil cooler.
The rear axle was also fully rebuilt including a new crown pinion and wheel. Ratio 3. 07:1
Upgraded to Volvo Amazon servo assisted front disc brakes and front suspension, also has power assisted rack and pinion steering. Drives like a modern car.
The original factory interior is in beautiful unmarked condition. No holes, tears or marks and testament to the care received over the years.
Recently fitted new carpets throughout, full oil and filter service and all new ignition equipment.
This car starts on the button and runs and drives beautifully with all gauges and switchgear working as it should.
Used regularly all year round but never driven in the wet.
Matching Firestone radial tyres in excellent condition.
Correctly registered on V5.
All spares readily available from Brookhouse Volvo Parts Ltd in Ipswich.
To the best of my knowledge this is the only V8 PV544 in the country and possibly Europe, I can't find another. This is a car I always look forward to driving and I'm sure the new owner will too.
