The Volvo Duett was used for multiple purposes. It was available as a comfortable sedan, but also as a practical delivery car. There were 3 different versions; closed van, windowed van and even as an ambulance. The Duett was produced from 1953 to 1969. The models consisted of 2 different titles. The PV445 is one of them. The body of the PV445 was based on that of the PV444 saloon and had the same two-piece flat windscreen. Next to this was the P210. The P210 replaced the P445 in the mid-1960s. It is very similar to the PV445. It can be distinguished from it by its curved one-piece windshield, which it shares with the PV544, also known as the 'Cat Back'.
This is a Custom-Made Volvo Duett pick-up from 1966. It is originally Swedish, and first registered on Dutch registration plates in 2011. The base model of this car is a 21134 F, a P210 or a Duett. There are several titles to choose from. The colour consists of an olive green paint along with a comfortable black leather interior. The wooden cargo box gives a retro look to this unique Volvo. The interior consists of black leather seats along with the original dashboard & steering wheel, black headliner and black carpets. At the bottom of the car, there are chrome hubcaps that are still of nice quality. The same goes for the other chrome details around the car. Under the wooden cargo box, there is a hard & rust-free underside present. For if the pick-up couldn't be more practical yet, a tow bar is included at the rear.
The Swedish classic was fully restored in about 2015. This is partly reflected in the photo report that is present. During its restoration, a lot has happened. It has been completely dismantled, right down to the bodywork. Here, the sheet metal was sanded, and when necessary, machined and removed of rust. After this, it was painted in its current green paint. Part of this restoration, took place at the well-known Volvo Classics in Barneveld. No savings were made on this complete process, which is reflected in the pick-up's current condition. The car runs very well on both petrol and LPG. It has been fitted with a new LPG installation. This is neatly hidden under the cargo box.
It is fitted with the well-known 'B18' engine block. This engine has been given the title of impressively durable. This is partly because the car with the most kilometres in the world (Volvo P1800S 1966), has driven more than 5 million kilometres with it. It consists of a 1.8-litre in-line four-cylinder. It was made from 1961 to 1968 and produces around 75hp. Paired with this, is a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine runs well and shifts smoothly.
A unique, beautiful and practical Swede!
