I'm just about to advertise my 1965 c reg volvo amazon 122s b18 twin carb...4 door..has the early grills and gold badges.it's black for restoration,needs a respray and some welding,pass side sill etc etc...needs a new ignition barrel...engine ran sweet when was parked up a year ago,black wheels with beauty rings and caps,red interior faded by the sun...no mot or tax...£1500...

If the interior trim of the car is original and unmolested It's more like to be a very early B18 car from 1962. Would be interesting to know the chassis number. Might well be originally an import by someone in the armed forces. It was normal then to give them a reg number from that year rather than an age related.
Let's play guess the chassis number - 88888
A nice one to keep original, especially if it still has the early grilles. More pics please.

Looks like a 63 to me

See it has the early padded door cappings too, nice. Thought they were very early.

Trouble putting pics up...

Well, bless my soul if it doesn't seem to have one of those centre consoles everybody is getting so excited about!

That style dash with door cappings ended on the last of the 64 model year.

Lol sure does...it's not a bad little project,just got way to much on at present...also going to put on eBay unless someone wants to snap it up...

Actually I got it wrong it's first registered 1962...I'm going to put an advert on eBay aswell...thanks...

I can't quite tell, but from the eBay photos (below) does this have the rear quarterlight fitted? The chrome trim around the rear window quarter is different to mine.

I think the dash pad continuing onto the door caps carried over from the B16 to only the very early B18s. Does anyone know for sure? My July '62 car has them.

Good luck with the sale.

Regards
Lucien
