Says it was first reg 2nd March 1965, so I'd say that meant a '65 model. "New & Improved" 65's were built from after the summer break in '64 so about 3 months of production in '64. Things like the rubbers might have crossed over for a while. All the obvious model changes are there, upholstery, grille, boot lid handle, wheels etc. No sign of the tube for the rad blind and the oil cap is now at the front. Front panel and grilles did tend to get "upgraded" after damage due to unavailability of the earlier type.
Chassis number would date it reasonably closely. |

- Oil cap - moved from center of valve cover - during '64 models - your idea of the oil cap's place is in correspondance with radiatorblind is not right. - Interior, grills, wheels, are all items that get changed over the years. Chassis number will give a correct answer.

Could be a point - strength of key - but it does alter the look, if you are into details - since the Neiman key/barrel came with the 1965 models.

Jackman,
It looks like your car has drum brakes up front?..

ClassicVolvo, i will send you a message later with the number as i cannot currently send PM's. Also it has discs up front.
There will be another update later once ive sorted and edited the pictures to a decent size. |

Good - Disc brakes makes it most likely a 1965 if a 121 and not a 122.

Well according to the logbook and badges its a 121 so i hope it is.
Done a bit more work today. I put a bit of weight on the passenger wing and it cracked all the way along... a quick poke made this hole.... Which was made completly of filler, no metal left. Once id unbolted the bottom of the wing it came off leaving not much behind. Also removed the front panel as there wasnt much holding it in place. Im a bit unsure on this bit, should there be somthing poking out there or should it be flat steel? (I know the rust shouldnt be there) Took the badges off too to keep them safe. |

If you had emotional reasons for rescuing that car, fair enough. Without those, it's only fit for one thing imho...but if you are to persevere then I wish you the best of luck.
