I watch (and very much enjoy) a British TV program called Car SOS, that features cars that have been restored unbeknownst to their owners. Typically the car owners relations ask the show to fix up a car that for some reason or another, the owner is unable to repair.

Season 2, episode 6 features a 1968 Amazon 2 door with a B20 that was in Denmark. Needless to say I was excited to see the episode, and I was not let down. A fair amount of work was done at Westgate Classics in England (respray, suspension work, clutch, plus many other odds and ends that never made it to camera) and it looked great when it was done.

They took two restored Amazons out for a spin as well... one representing the nice side of Volvo owners, and the other was a bit more sporty. The second one sounded amazing!

The surprise reveal was done at a Volvo dealership in Denmark. If you have the chance to check the show out, please do!

Linky? I always kid my wife that if Chip Foose shows up, I'll punch him in the face for all the messed up two-tone paint jobs and blingy wheels he's put on cars over the years.

I don't have a link per say (no stream feed that I could find).

But here is a link on the show itself:

This car was featured in Hemmings a few months ago...something about the car being reunited with it's original owner or driver.

Interesting photo...

I'm pretty certain the small white car on the right at the rear of the field is an Abarth Simca 2000...
