We have specialised in Volvos of the 1960's and 70's since 2001 - both workshop and rally competition services, as well as new and used parts sales.
Our cars have done well on many Peking2Paris events, and 3rd overall on the London2CapeTown rally, in addition to our standard roadgoing cars.
Our TH-cam channel is a catalogue of truncated technical videos from our work on classic Volvos of the 1960/70's
PV544, P1800, Amazon, 140 & 164 - B18, B20 & B30 engines - sorted by Volvo's chaptering system.
The library of over 130 advert free videos can then be found at
patreon.com/amazoncars
When we stop making videos, all these will be "public" access once more, the Patreon portal is there to cover our costs in creating the videos.
