Danny: This is an actual Swedish model, privately imported into Canada in 1992. Consequently, the instruments are all in Swedish, including the odometer, which reads in kilometers per hour. That's very convenient since, as you must know, Canada uses metric measurements. Volvo odometers have always exceeded their actual capabilities and I could never dream of getting this car to ~ 94 mph. In actual fact, with the original 44 hp B4B and the sluggish 3 speed, 80 kph (~50 mph) is about all that I'm going to get out of this underpowered beast. TThe first PV444's that were sold in the USA had the twin SU B14A, designed for the P1900. Ironically, my B4B uses a single Carter WO down draft carburetor, identical to a WWII jeep and an Autolite distributor.
