1962 Volvo 122s

With a saddened heart I have to put my Amazon up for sale,I have no idea of what it's worth but open to offers..it's had head work and 4 branch and Simon's exhaust, overdrive was rebuilt years ago but it takes an age to engage until warm,Speedo stopped working and was painted with plasticoat I believe..looks ok from far side of car park but ideally a repaint..interior is very good ..comes with a load of original trim and is sat in later wheels,have from badges and can include B20 and 5 speed box that I was told from a capri..car is in Orkney uk..
David Wright did nearly all the work to put it on the road and keep it there.
Was a true barn find for 34 years and Speedo was in 49000 when I rescued it, now says 65k but it'll be a bit higher due to Speedo fault.
Thanks for reading

It's hard to put a value on any car without seeing it 'in the flesh', which will be difficult for most because of the location (as you are aware I'm sure). But a few current photos will help a lot.

Hi
My teenage daughter has found your facebook page for me and I have had a look at the photos. Could you let me have some more details about the car - to what extent was it restored and apart from a paint job is there anything else that requires particular attention ?
Cheers
