Polis amazon i Nederlanderna

Post by Fjällsko1970 »

Hello all amazon lovers.
Since a few days I am the proud owner of a 1970 amazon Polis. type 133341TP chassis number 343591.
This car was imported in 1999 to netherlands and had several owners. I doubt if the previous owners were aware of the fact that she started her volvo life as a policecar.

I have been driving volvo amazons since 1980 and when a friend of me showed me his new Amazon I was a bit puzzeled about all the relays in his car. I compared the type plate with in the info on the Volvo amazon Picture gallery and it turned out to be a police car. I fell inlove with the car.
I convinced my friend that this car should be restored as a original police car, and he was prepared to sell the car to me, if I would help him to find annother , better, amazon. Just after X-mas, after a long search during several months, we found a nice car for him and I bought the policecar from him!

So now I can start working on the car, I hope that you can help me with all the questions I have and where to find all the
special police car atributes.
I will figure out how to post pictures and will put them here for your comment/advice.

Thank you all! It gives a warm feeling.

Maybe you can answer my question.
On the back of the steering wheel there are 2 holes for switches i assume . The switches are gone.
On othe left side there is screen washer symbol and on the right side there is a lightning bolt bolt symbol.
What is the function of the switch with the lightning bolt symbol and do you have any idea which switches were used?

Thank You Peter!
The info on the switches on the steering wheel is in the instructions bok, I just missed it, now i know what "under rattekker" means!
( my swedish is improving everyday)

I searched theamazonpictures.se site several times but did notice the special polisbil catalog. A lot of information to study and it will help me to find al the original items. A lot of questions will be answered.

Hi Frans

"under ratteker" means behind/below steering wheel spoke = where the switch goes .

Still trying to figure out which headlights were on the car. In the polis reservdels katalog there is no references for Marchal head lights (stralkastare) for cars with my Scode S-1546.
I checked with a dutch marchal specialist and they do not recognize the marchal type numbers that are indicated for the other S-codes that have marchal references. :?:

There is also no bakruteflakt indicated for S-1546 but still gona use it! 8)

But you should have a switch for the bakrutefläkt.. so why a switch but no bakrutefläkt?

Yes same applies to the bakljus, there is a switch in the list but no extra bakljus.
Or is the switch used for stealth mode ,backup without the standard backlights on.
There is a bak lampa hole in the bumper, even the bracket is still there.

I have also 3 holes in the plate below the rear window. 2 of them exactly corresponding with the fan mounting bracket, the third is For the electrical cable. The impression of the foot of the fan is visable in the panel.

I think the catalog is not 100% accurate or possible modifications were done later.

My car also has 4 "Glodtradsvakt" units (Delta AB stockholm) that were "standard" in the 144 police cars.
(I think one is missing, not sure which)

Hej .

Today the Hella reverse light arrived.
It's not the exact correct type. It has the same back as the 115 ZNW CC but has a different lens and the lens opening in the ring is 113 mm instead of the 115 mm. the type number is 2ZR001173-09 the mounting base is marked with ZN 1 ZN2 and ZN4.
This type of lamp is also available with opening of 118 mm.
The lens is a reverse lens so for the time beeing I will use this one with a 35W bulb.

It came in a set with a rear fog light, same housing but red lens. type number is 2NE001173-06

Hi all,
For some reason I could not log in anymore. so I changed my ID to Fjällsko1971. atleast I can put in an update.
Have been busy working but made some progress. The swedish registration number of my car (was) is BAA997.
Seems so far that car originates from the soderhamn area?
If there is somebody who knows the car . please let me know.

I managed to get hold on some original Indication plates for the switches. will post some pictures when they arrive.
I also got hold of the Marchal TP6sp spotlights, bought them this weekend for reasonable price.
Working on a "Siren" , a 2 tone air horn, not the original one but one from SEV Marchal.

I started on the rust repairs on the botom section, a lot of cleaning to do. Structural the botom is OK. most cross members are
in good condition.

Hope to update soon.

Frans



The search is still on, still mis one hella red light(rotljus)
