In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was presented. It became known as the desertcart in Sweden and the 121 and 122S in export markets, the latter denoting a more sporty derivative. However, despite its substantial appearance, all desertcarts were surprisingly fleet of foot - this was one of the most sporty European saloons of the 1960s. With its elegant, timeless styling the desertcart broke new ground for Volvo - and for passenger cars as a whole. This new book covers the complete story of Volvo desertcart, from 1956 onwards, including full production histories, comprehensive specification details, and over 250 photographs. An ideal resource for owners, or anybody with an interest in the evolution of these classic cars. Review: First Class - I have really enjoyed reading this account of the Volvo desertcart. Review: An desertcarts fan best buy - A brilliant book if your interested in anything old Volvo and also many technical details and specifications to help with buying.

Enzyklopädische Dokumentation des Volvo Amazon mit kleinen Schwächen
Die erste auf den Volvo Amazon fokussierte Dokumentation von der Entstehung über die Produktion bis zu den Nachfolgern. Natürlich ist dies ein großer Pluspunkt für das Buch von Richard Dredge. Neben einigen lückenhaften Darstellungen fehlt jedoch die aktuelle Veteranenszene leider fast völlig. Gerade diese ist jedoch für einen Liebhaber ganz entscheidend, sehr schade. Offensichtlich stand der Autor unter hohem Zeitruck und hat sich daher auf vorhandenes Material beschränkt und wenig Zeit für eigene Recherchen aufgewendet.
