End of 2012 Jos read in the Volvo Classic Posts that there would be organized an anniversary trip in 2014 to the Nordkapp. Departure Gothenburg through Sweden and Finland and via Norway back to Gothenburg.
An old wish of more than 30 years.

An organized trip with 44 old Volvos, an opportunity not to pass up. So he quickly signed in with the Volvo 164, which since 2001 was waiting for restoration.
When the balance was made up on what needed to be done and knowing that the first tests would take place in March 2014, there was a majorconcern. Was it feasible to get this done on time?
No risk taken and searching for another copy that Jos could get ready in time.

Eventually it was found at Evert Kooy in Den Helder. The car rode quite well and, except the front seats, it looked good and ... with an overdrive. To avoid problems with the journey of nearly 8,000 kilometers. technical maintenance was done, such as revision of the engine and cylinder head, clutch and brakes completely renewed and the front seats reupholstered.
After some fine tuning the Volvo 164 was ready to be approved in April, prior to the trip, by the technical committee and they came through with honors.

During our great trip in May / June 2014 we have had no problems and she shall, except in winter, from 2015 on the normal use car, interspersed with a few other classics.

After wonderful riding in the summer, Jos has refurnished the back seat. Though the old upholstery was not bad, it differed from the new upholstery of the front seats. Now they are similar again.
