Buying was very straightforward but my wife tells me that the sellers were somewhat bemused by the fact that I intended to drive it back to Holmfirth from Herefordshire the long way, particularly when they noticed that I had set off in third. It survived the trip and so did I. My first impressions were of a rather fierce clutch and rather gentle brakes. I seem to have got used to the clutch and plan for the brakes but a disc conversion is on my longer term "to do" list.
So far it has met my expectations and feels like a car that could comfortably be used on shorter journeys - I use it most days and possibly for longer ones more occasionally.
I think it has had some good treatment by its previous owners but most original features have been retained.
Great that you've found one, you won't regret it. I've had mine for 4 years now, also a '64, and brought up to at least sport spec by previous owner, done several thousand miles in it, including in Europe. Won't be selling it.
If you're on facebook go on PVUK with some piccies and see a few others.
Regards, Andy.

The price would have to be "very right" to get me to part with it!

I already have a fragile 1950s car (not a Volvo) in the garage so this one has to need maintenance rather than a rebuild.
I am not really in the market for a rally car - quite happy with single carb performance. New to this forum and almost to Volvos. Only previous ownership a 164 - totally reliable apart from sun roof (shouldn't have gone through that car wash!) but not really my style of car.
Hi.
I have a couple of PVs, one 1953 444, B14B, runner needing welding only to use thereafter, an IMMACULATE PV544, perhaps the best around currently, 1964, ready to go anywhere, 2 x PVs that require finishing but start and drive. Call me, Kassie 07828879494
