Targa Tasmania 2014: Volvo 122S PURE SOUND

[@cyclofrene]

Impressive camerawork, transitions the driving thrill. And the driving does it too, obviously.

[@ronplucksstrings7112]

SOOOO IMPRESSIVE! A GREAT driver/nav team with optimum lines and power and braking through every turn! What a pleasure to watch! Great video production too...beautiful camerawork, positions, angles and composition (thanks to the cameraman to getting to the 1:10 filming position...gorgeous views and sounds...a well earned trophy guys!...I'll have to take a cold shower now...maybe I'll just watch it again...a few times, first!

[@soundknight]

Are you a driver?

[@kjhenrickson]

My first car, built like a tank. Had it from 1966 until 1981 when we left for Australia. I still hanker after that car

[@andrewwhite3486]

Hi Ken Steering is standard. Box was carefully re-built. 3 deg neg camber and 3 deg castor helps stability. Still a little vague around the straight ahead but not so noticeable once it is up to speed.

[@colinfairhurst8949]

Well they weren't hanging about were they ? That amazon just loved being at full throttle.

[@petebroady8993]

best looking and sounding car in the event!! good to see them having a red hot go and getting the rewards.

[@mikekalinchenkov7341]

What a music! Fantastic oldtimer ;)

[@DavidBello]

Loved this!

[@ken377lx]

Any special tricks done to the steering gear and or linkages to make an Amazon handle like this? M 122 steering is so vague around center.... Beautifully done car, a true inspiration.

[@soundknight]

Go Andy!!!!

[@MrEtiennesyd]

Sick video guys. Well done, and good luck for this week.!

[@StephenFinsel]

I had a 67 when I was in high school (75-76) and put a Thrush straight pipe muffler on it. It never sounded this good, but man it could move!

[@paul29671]

Pure sound is right!

[@mg1822]

So car looks and sounds great, has rally history , and they're not too expensive to purchase...Yes, a Volvo 122S sounds like a good first classic car purchase.

[@UnclePutte]

Oh gosh, what a beauty! It's the Attack of the Amazon!

[@kentchr76]

UnclePutte Yeah - it's a classic. Such an incredible car. Please make something like this again, Volvo!

[@DanielMoorlach]

[@andrewwhite3486]

Hi Daniel You can see a description of the car's build at www.volvoadventures.com/andrewwhite2.html. Happy to help with any advice. Andy White

[@The122sR]

Hey Daniel, some detail on the car's build can be found at Volvo Adventures ( www.volvoadventures.com/andrewwhite2.html) Nothing too exotic. There's also some footage from last year's event here (Targa Tasmania 2013: Volvo 122S - Pure sound ) with slightly better sound: this year we had a high rev' ignition problem we're still trying to sort (valve springs, igtion, etc). This limited us to about 6,300 rpm. For a view from the other side of the 'screen search WorksVolvo, cheers, AY

[@andrewwhite3486]

See some great in-car footage of this the White/Yelds Volvo at Targa tasmania 2014 Volvo takes 240Z on Cethana s and Volvo 3rd Classic over Queenstown

[@unclejoe7373]

[@alexgillman8576]

whats the exhaust situation here. I want to put it on my car. Straight pipe?

[@andrewwhite6713]

4 into1 21/2" pipe and small low restriction muffler at rear

[@chikitabowow]

Is that the original B18 or perhaps a B23?

[@jibcano1777]

Not sure but you can hear the sidedraft su carbs whistling

[@andrewwhite6713]

Its a B18 bored out to 1954cc (class Limit) with 45 webers, head work, etc, 195hp
