Hi all just joined up , im finally going to restore the volvo 165 which a few of you might have heard about in Australia. It was a one off chassis no 1651360001 made for the then managing director of volvo. l have had it for about 12 years or so l think its about time l got onto it. I have got full documentation from volvo themselves inc the drop sheet of the production line dated 29/2/1972. hope to post some photos soon regards John

Hi John,
A very warm welcome to the forum; I'm seriously glad you joined up and delighted to read this post! I'm in the UK but I keep in touch from time to time with Heino Nowatzky and he told me about your unique Volvo-built 165. Please please post up loads of photos. I'm really looking forward to seeing the car and your restoration. Cheers John |

We too welcome you to our little haven.....
Would love to see pics of your car, as we have a pic of one (maybe a 145 conversion) when we went to Cumbers garage, Brixham, Cormwall some years ago in our maroon 164 and saw a similar-coloured 165 having an MoT test. Hope the car is in sound basic condition. Paul |

The car is reasonably sound some rust spots around back windows but nothing around the front windscreen strange, body generally is in good order although it might be different when l take the paint off. The black leather interior is good motor will be getting a rebuild along with brakes etc. hope to have some photos soon regards John

Was this the car given to Volvo design chief, Jan Wilsgaard, upon his retirement by any chance?
