this car does not exist in Sweden. (except some possible private import) No such cars were sold at all because of all the Renault sales were managed by Volvo and they didn't want Renaults bigger cars to compete with their own brand.

The only Renault sold in the 80's when the Renault 25 was produced was the Renault 5 which was a small car and no threat to Volvo.

If you have notice, this one I posted is RHD so it's strange for Italy too...

I see Volvo Amazon at times, it was the nr 1 car in sweden all 60's and most of the 70's

In the 80's it was the typical used car for the poor youth, many Amazons sadly were not taken care of, received a lot of beating and bad maintenance , they also became customized and rebuilt.

So in the 2010's this is a classic vintage car, possibly worth more in other countries where it is less frequent and more valuable.

So there is export of Amazons to Germany and Holland going on, where prices are higher.

I saw this Saab 99 around 20 minutes ago in Växjö. These are not so common anymore.

[Satyricon84]

This Saab is cool!

[licenseplateman]

I agree, It's one of my favourite Saabs but my favourite is the Saab 95.

One thing about the Fiat 131.

I remember these cars in the 70's when FIAT had a larger share of the swedish auto market, than today (as the asian cars have taken over)

The rule we had about headlight wipers from 1974 made the FIAT have a wiper placed right on the headlight, it looked wierd.



looked something like this, couldn't find a picture so I draw wipers on this picture.

To this day I can't see how these wipers could be allowed or less how this stupid rule was initiated and not abolished until in the 90's.

Not to forget, the fiat 131 abart was a succesful rally car in the 70's

it's a 1974 Saab 99 , notice the headlight wipers. the problem these car had was that the waterpump easilly broke, resulting in engine overheating.
