The number eighty-one in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is an ex Volvo 265 Ambulance from 1981/82 which has been transformed into a Volvo Serve car. This model is based on the Volvo 264 Ambulance which has been offered as model N° 56. This Volvo is not a fantasy model. It does exist in the Netherlands. The first owner was the red cross in Aalten in the east of the Netherlands. This car was one of the few cars originally sold in the Netherlands. The red cross had the car in use till the mid nineties. The Dutch Volvo dealerSchmidt-Gemert had an earlier Volvo 265 ambulance model in use as a service wagon which they used for about ten years. This specific model was completely painted Volvo blue. But that car needed a replacement. At the very same time the 265 Ambulance from the Dutch red cross came up for sale and Carlo Schmidt bought it as replacement for their other 265 ambulance. The ambulance from the red cross had at that time a moderate 112.000 Km on the clock. After having bought it Carlo Schmidt had no time and did not want to hurry preparing his new acquired 265. At this time the car was still painted white. Mr Schmidt put it for several years in his storage since he had no immediate use for it. About ten years ago a good friend of Carlo Schmidt and a Volvo 200 series adept asked him if he would sell the car to him so that he could prepare. it as it is now. He wanted to use it for club purposes. That was the moment where the car received his actual livery. The new owner lost interest after several years of use and he sold it last year. We don't know where the car is situated at the moment. Carlo Schmidt had intended to buy the car back but missed the new sale due to a lack of time as well as other commitments. Please let us know when you should know where the car is today.

De ambulance is van mij geweest en ik heb deze in deze uitvoering opgebouwd. Graag zou ik het model in bezit willen krijgen.

Oh no, not an other dublicate...Why cant they just stop do dublicates that don't even looks like the real car? I Think it's just for the Money and not for us buyers...

Ja, det är för jäkligt, förstår inte varför de måste göra så många kopior! Det är ju bara utfyllnad och fantasibilar... Även om detta ska likna (föga) en verklig modell.. Hoppas att de tar sitt förnuft till fånga och ger oss bilar som vi inte fått innan.. Leave a Reply. |
