Well here she is just as i bought her home. 1961 Volvo 122S 1800cc with twin SU's and overdrive box and original registration.
I had to renew the water pump which took me about 25 minutes to do then washed her over and thats it.
She needs a new wing (rockin horse poop) on the n/s but i have three fibreglass ones to choose from while i get this one repaired/renewed.
Interior is amazing condition but she only has 56k on the clock!!
Tomorrow ill replace the leads, plugs etc etc and whip the carb needles out and see if they need renewing. She runs beautifully though and was used daily til the water pump went early last month. MOT only ran out a few days ago.
