Oxford launched the 1:43 version of the Volvo Amazon and
now, for the benefit of smaller scale followers, collectors, they are
delighted to include it in our 1:76 scale range as well. The
Amazon, designed in real life by Jan Wilsgaard as a large family car
with a production life spanning from 1956 to 1970. The Amazon also
appeared as a 2-door coupé, 4-door saloon and a 5-door estate car, with a
total production quantity of over 650,000, of which over 234,000
comprised the Amazon 4-door saloon version, the subject of our Oxford
replica.
Decorated in pale green with a darker green interior, the vehicle is
registered JHO 887E. The distinctive front radiator grilles are silver
on matt black with additional exterior body trim finished in
silver/chrome on a black chassis. The Volvo marque is printed on the
rear, with a fine little finishing touch of a GB sticker.
