About this product
Product Information
In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was presented. It became known as the Amazon in Sweden and the 121 and 122S in export markets, the latter denoting a more sporty derivative. However, despite its substantial appearance, all Amazons were surprisingly fleet of foot - this was one of the most sporty European saloons of the 1960s. With its elegant, timeless styling the Amazon broke new ground for Volvo - and for passenger cars as a whole. . Includes the history of Volvo before and after the Amazon. . Development and production of all Amazon derivatives from 1956-1970, including the 121, 122S, 123GT and all of the estate editions. . Biographies of key Volvo personnel, including the company's first designer, Jan Wilsgaard. . The Amazon in motorsport, plus driver biographies: Tom Trana, Sylvia Osterberg and Carl-Magnus Skogh. . Full buying guide along with tips on tuning and modifying, including rally preparation. . An insight into what the press thought of each Amazon derivative, with pages also devoted to how the car was marketed in period. AUTHOR: Richard Dredge bought his first car, a Triumph Herald 1200, when he was just sixteen years old. At twenty-one he purchased a Vitesse, and as with the Herald, he completely rebuilt the car. Since then he has also acquired an Alpine A610 - but no Volvo Amazon. Yet. The first book Richard ever wrote was the history of Volvo. A regular contributor to motoring magazines such as, Practical Classics and Classic Car Weekly, Richard also writes for Auto Express, Sunday Times. He runs www.firstcar.co.uk for new drivers.
