1965 Volvo 121 review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent strong easy to maintain car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Touch wood nothing yet.
Have replaced most seat cushions with good second hand ones.
There is some play in the prop shaft which needs looking at.
Steering wheel had to be centered.
General comments?
I love the look of the car, it has a lot of style.
Automatic gearbox isn't the fastest thing around, but it allows you to hang onto the steering wheel, and makes relaxed driving in town..
Seats are very comfortable and easy to clean.
