Living in Sussex , looking for an Amazon
Hello Volvo Folks .
I live near Lewes , Sussex . Many years ago I had an Amazon BMT775H ( bought from and looked after by my friend Chris Harte . Sadly I had to sell ( to someone on the south coast , I’d love to know how it’s doing ) about 12 years ago as dear Chris suddenly died and I had young kids , mortgage etc etc , so it felt time to move on ( very regretfully ) . I’m hoping to get the cash together within the next month / 6 weeks to rekindle my love of Amazons and purchase another one . I popped down to Raystead Animal Sanctuary a couple of weeks back for the Sussex Volvo meet and chatted with some very nice Volvo folks ; Dave , Dillon and Audrey (other who’s names I can’t remember ) . If by any chance anyone knows of any Amazons coming on the market that are in decent nick ( hopefully on the southern side of things ) then perhaps you could pass on details . My Amazon was 1970 , so it was quite nippy and had fantastic brakes . I’d be looking for something similar , I think 1967 or younger . Just wanted to put the feelers out . Thanks in advance . Cheers Tom |

Best of luck with your search, keep an eye on the sales section here. You could also give Rob Whitton a shout also. One thing to keep in mind that the value of Amazons have considerably jumped in the past few years, cars that were a coupe of thousand to buy a few years ago are over 10 -15K now.
