Hi Morewenna240,
I think it takes a rather unusual set of circumstances for a 58 year old cart to end up with only 17,000 miles on the clock.

My car was purchased in 1966 by a sea captain out of Hull in the UK. Right after buying the car the owner got a shore based job that came with a company car. He passed his new Volvo onto his wife who was not a keen driver and only used the car for a weekly shopping trip. In 1982 the car passed to the son of the original owner who used the car sparingly and started to show the car at local classic car meets in Yorkshire (Photo 2). By the mid 1990's when the car finally left the family it had only 14,700 miles on the clock.

The Historics Auction is this Saturday 11th May - https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/a...131-amazon-dg/
