The Volvo happened to be waiting around for me when, long ago, as a student in Amsterdam, I was looking for something to drive (I turned out to have to do something with this particular vehicle before it actually would…). Before that I had shared, with a girlfriend, a Simca Fourgonette – actually an old-timer in its own right – that had been got rid of by the postal authorities. But the Amazon was the first car that was all my own, my very own. I felt like a king!
Great car, the Amazon. Designed by an artist – and you can tell! I’ve been the proud owner since 1986. It starts if you nod at it.
