Amazon Estate 1968 - Matthewsons Auction

[Steve 940]

Just seen a rather interesting lot coming up on Matthewsons March auction, guided at £2 - £3,000

No photos, but at bottom of the screen a You Tube walk round video, looks a pretty straight base for a project.

Cheers
Steve

That does look good, but have you seen the 122s? That's a beauty.

Yes, the 122S is a beauty. I know the car and its owner. Sadly, due to health reasons he has had to sell his cars. Whoever buys the 120 will have bought a superb car and will not be disappointed. I don't know about the Estate. The car can be seen at Bruntingthorpe and Elvington at the Volvo 600 on YouTube.

Rick paid £6k for it so hope he gets his money back.

His 2 door is also worth a lot more than the estimate. I assume low estimates to get interest but his 2 door is lovely and really well looked after as well.

Hi Mitch,

Doh, just realised I forgot to paste the link on the first post about this one.

Seems you and Dibble know a bit of the background, and sorry to hear they’re being sold due to ill health.

Yes, the 2 door does look absolutely stunning, and I would agree it appears the estimates are low to attract interest etc.

Just have a query about the estate, the photos appear to show some mark across the roof virtually in line with the B pillar, any ideas???

Only asking purely out of interest of coursealthough I did get a delivery cost quote from Matthewsons😀😀

Cheers
Steve

It had a roof rack on it when I saw it so probably something from that I’d imagine. It’s a good honest car, what you see is what you get type of deal.

Hi Mitch,

Many thanks, well that makes absolute sense, just have till 20th to talk sense into myself, or ‘find’ some extra space

Just to update on this one, reached £3700 but the sound on my laptop was a bit iffy so i don't know 100% if it was sold or a provisional.

Cheers

Had I seen it I would have paid more than that for it
