My Dad owned a few PVs the 444s and 544 with an early P Duett as well
They are not small cars or cars you would think of racing with their
L4 OHV but Swedes do and they are like the Holden of Australia but
way more reliable and well finished cars.

This ohv engine has a world record for longest driven engine
last time I checked the owner clocked 1.75 million kms or miles

Neil, we have been eyeing this model for sale but really want a Duett
but prices are just nuts of late

the PV is a 1940s car, first produced 1944 until 1966. It won the Safari Rally the year Nissan placed first in class

The Volvo is a PV544 they are like a 3/4 scale 40's American car. I think they are around 2200lbs with driver and the motor in OGREInc's car may be around 175hp or so.

The video shows me the suspension is still a bit unruly. Obviously the motor is reeeeeally slow but for now I'm going to install some fresh Koni dampers on the front. I am going to fix the exhaust and change the worn dizzy to help the power but that's not exactly going to net the kind of power I need.

Looks like fun
Never seen that model Volvo before

Here is some more video from a race we did last month, the camera car is an Alfa GTV that runs in a class for street legal cars. It's the glorious battle for 16-18th out of 23 cars. OGREInc is in the Volvo 544 and I'm obviously in the 1200 Coupe. The Alfa drove smoothly and simply bided his time. OGREInc (his first race) and I flogged them for all they were worth but to no avail.
