Volvo 133 GT, 1968 information

The Volvo Amazon was introduced in the year 1957 and was produced until 1970. The model is officially known as the Volvo 120 series. The Volvo Amazon was designed by Volvo chief designer Jan Wilsgaard.
The Amazon became the second model in 1957 next to the Volvo PV 544 fastback model. Volvo hoped to increase international sales with the Amazon; that worked out positively. These very strong, reliable cars were fairly popular those days. The Amazon was a ideal family sedan and a very tough opponent in races and rallies due to it's legendary robustness and reliability.
In the year 1962 a Amazon station car model was presented: the 220 series.
The "crown jewels" of the Amazon series are the (1966-1969) 123 GT and the (1968-1970) 133 GT. Volvo fitted a P 1800 S engine in a Amazon two-door coachwork and voilà the GT was born! The 123 GT was fitted with a 1778 cc. 96 bhp engine, the 133 GT was fitted with a 1987 cc. 100 bhp. four cylinder engine.
The GT was equipped with a four speed manual gearbox combined with an overdrive (Laycock de Normanville), a sports steering wheel, fog lamps and a rev. counter on top of the dashboard. Nowadays these cars are very much sought after for historic rally events.
