Volvo 120 Amazon 1966


   VOLVO 

Volvo with limousine tradition The Swedish Volvo brand is gathering more
 than 90 years of limousine tradition at its stand in Hall 3: from the first limousine, 
the PV4 from 1927, to the latest S60, which was launched this spring. 
The exhibits include, for example, a 1966 “Amazon” and a 1981 240 Turbo. 
The star is the Volvo PV 36 “Carioca” from 1935, named after a South American dance.
 The Person Vagn formerly owned by Volvo co-founder and engineer Gustaf Larson
 was in the centre of the factory stand, in the original condition with a fantastic patina.

Volvo PV4-serie 28 pk 1929

History:

De Volvo PV4 is een personenauto van Volvo. 
Het is de gesloten versie van Volvo's eerste auto, de Volvo ÖV4, 
welke als cabriolet niet erg succesvol bleek in het Zweedse klimaat. 
In tegenstelling tot de afkorting ÖV 
(öppen vagn - open wagen) staat PV voor "personvagn" - personenwagen.
De PV4 had een versnellingsbak met 3 versnellingen en de motor had 
een cilinderinhoud van 1944 cm³ met een vermogen van 28 pk.
 Het plaatwerk van de PV4 bestond uit kunstleer,
 als optie ook uit echt leder, op het houten frame, 
en niet zoals gebruikelijk in deze tijd uit staal. 
Deze bleek echter niet waterdicht, waardoor het houten frame 
van de auto na een tijd begon te rotten.
 Een handig detail was dat de binnenkant van de auto 
tot een plank kon worden uitgeklapt, 
wat eventuele overnachtingskosten kon besparen.
De productie begon in de zomer van 1927. 
De verkoopaantallen waren beter dan bij de ÖV4, 
maar nog steeds niet erg overtuigend.
 Hierdoor volgde in de herfst van 1928 de PV4 Special, 
die met vloeiendere lijnen en een overzichtelijkere 
achterruit ontworpen was. 
Door de lange motorkap leek de auto bovendien sportiever.
Naast deze twee modellen kwam de PV4 handelsreiswagen op de markt,
een speciale versie van de PV4 Special, die een grotere achterdeur had. 
Hij kan gezien worden als de eerste Volvo-stationwagon. 

PV36 "Carioca" 1936 genoemd naar een Zuid-Afrikaanse dans.
Deze Personewagen behoorde tot de Mede-oprichter en Engineer
van Volvo, Gustaf Larson in nog geheel orginele patina.

Piccola Grande Vettura = Little Great Car

FCA Heritage: Abarth

Abarth vehicles are handy and especially powerful but above all small and biting like the Scorpio – and have been for 70 years: Abarth & C. was founded in 1949 in Bologna by Carlo Abarth and Armando Scagliarini, but soon moved to Turin. In 1971, Abarth sold the company to Fiat. Until then, its cars had achieved up to 600 race and class victories annually, plus many world records. Representing the many small, snappy winning cars with the scorpion in their coat of arms, FCA Heritage presents the Fiat Nuova 500 elaborazione Abarth “Record”, which broke several world speed records in 1957 as the “piccola grande vettura”* for the Abarth anniversary. 

Also on the FCA stand: a Fiat 500 elaborata Abarth from 1974.

FCA Heritage: Reloaded By Creators

The initiative “Reloaded by Creators”, presented last year at Techno-Classica by FCA Heritage, is now firmly established: This is based on the offer to buy carefully selected classics directly from the original manufacturer – as delivered. The range includes vintage cars purchased from FCA Heritage, which have been restored to their original condition. Four examples of the “Reloaded by Creators” initiative will be on display at the large FCA Heritage stand in Hall 3, such as an Alfa Romeo 8C Spider from 2010: the roadster, built in a run of just 500 copies, has recently been overhauled in the Alfa Romeo Classiche workshops, issued with a certificate of authenticity and is for sale. The other “reloaded” classics also convince with the same qualities: a Fiat 124 Spider, a Pininfarina Spider Europa and an Alfa Romeo 8C Coupé.

31st TECHNO-CLASSICA ESSEN 2019 – the automobile world exhibition 

from 10th* until 14th April 2019

The number 1 of the classic fairs: pioneer and example or a lot 

of vintage-car exhibitions.

Official historical company presentations:

The most important classic fair: more than 2,700 collector’s cars for purchase,

 more than 1,250 exhibitors, more than 220 clubs and communities of interest.

*10th April 2019: Preview, Happy View Day

From 10th until 14th April 2019 with the Techno-Classica Essen the S.I.H.A.

 organises the classic fair with the greatest success and most visitors of 

the world for the 30th time. Organised as first great German car-salon for

 vintage-cars, connoisseurs- and collector’s-vehicles in February 1989 

it was, and is, an often copied, but never reached, example for a lot of other

 events of this type. With constant model up-keeping measures it has kept its

 pioneer role and even still extended – and, nevertheless, remained the unique 

original. 

Its recipe for success: 

To present to the visitors always the newest of the international 

scene as selection of the best from all fields of the classic hobby.

With more than 1,250 exhibitors from more than 30 nations the Techno-Classica Essen

reinforces at the 31sh edition its significance as number 1 

of the international vintage-car and collector’s vehicles fairs again and provides a comprehensive

 image of the international classic scene. 

Also the most important international car manufacturers use the power of ray of the automobile world leading fair: They present selected exhibits, which are to see at their plant stands at a large part at the Techno-Classica Essen exclusively. Car Manufacturers make the automobile world leading fair to the greatest history platform of the international car industry and demonstrate with their mostly spectacular appearances, which importance they attach to the classic world fair.

The classic enthusiasts appreciative the commitment of the industry 
in interaction with the other attraction of the Techno-Classica Essen:
 2017 more than 188,000 visitors from more than 40 nations flocked into 
the full occupied 20 exhibition halls at the Essen Gruga-park.

 And also the exhibitors know: 
At the Techno-Classica Essen they play in the Champions League.

Also for beginners in the classic scene the Techno-Classica Essen 
provides attractive offers:
 More than 30 percent of the automobiles, offered for purchase,
 are within means “plug and play“-young-timer. 
The overall more than 2,700 offered classic-, collector’s- and connoisseur-vehicles, 
young-timers and prestige cars make the Techno-Classica
 also in spring 2019 to the greatest classic market of the world again 
– here the Crème de la Crème of the international classic dealers come together
 with offerers of use-classics and private sellers. 
The last are to find at the four open spaces above all. 

For the more than 200 exhibiting classic-clubs and communities of interest the Techno-Classica Essen 2019 is regarded annually as the most important classic fair of the year: The honoraries make it to one of the greatest club meetings of the vintage-car and young-timer scene of the world and reflect the variety of the international vintage-car and classic scene with their commitment. To spur on the clubs for peak ratings, the Techno-Classica Essen also 2019 organizes the Club Grand Prix: A jury of club activists select especially creative designed stands which are honoured with cups and attractive cash prizes for the club cashes. The clubs are one of the significant cornerstones of the classic world fair and provide with their often amazing designed stands exciting infotainment.

The club appearances are supplemented by the qualitative and quantitative unattained offers of top-restorers, supplying enterprises, suppliers of car literature, spare part dealers, accessories sellers, clock- and technology dealers, artists and art dealers, publishers, and not at least model car suppliers. Becausethe Techno-Classica Essen is the fair with the greatest profit potential. The consequence: The specialist dealers – as well as also the visitors – are not coming only from entire Europe, but also from overseas. So, among others, exhibitors from North and South America, and in the last years also increasingly from Far East, present their range. With its great part of offerers and visitors from all over the world, the Techno-Classica Essen is the classic fair in Europe, which, in the matter of internationality and global fair, no other classic can hold a candle to.

To the traditions, maintained at the Techno-Classica, belongs a Concours d’Elégance, at which an international jury of experts and specialist journalists elect the most beautiful, most elegant and most attractive dealer classics and choose “the Best of Show“. In addition there is a “Club Grand Prix“, at which the most attractive club presentations are honoured with cash prizes for the club cashes.

Past and future:

 At the five-days fair everything, really everything, is offered around the topic vintage-cars and young-timers – so there meet from 10th until 14th April 2019 a lot of VIP’s from movies and TV, stars from the history and present of the motor sport and the most important deciders from the classic scene as well. The attractive and fascinating exhibition spectrum makes the Techno-Classica Essen to the automobile infotainment event of first class for the whole family, to the world exhibition of the car.

“The ambitioned beginnings were followed by years of consistent extension up to the label with worldwide respect – today the classic cosmos meets for the start of the season in Essen“, it is called in the prospect of the S.I.H.A. and: “Protect the spirit of the pioneers with us, yesterday – today – tomorrow. 

"Share the passion“.
