The 122 runs like a new car! I can’t believe what a difference there is in its pick up and response! It runs so much more quietly too! It sounds and runs so much more like the first 1966 122 I had (which was only a 20-year-old back then)! Thanks again for giving this 122 a new lease on life!

1966 Volvo 122

I had the pleasure of leaving my 1969 Volvo P1800 in the care of Robert. He brought the old engine back to life again, fixed the brakes and fuel-lines, and gave a ton of input on how I could continue to work on the car. The price was ok too. My warmest recommendations to SVS and Robert. Exporting the car back to Norway is the only reason for not making SVS my go-to place.
