About the Author

Richard Dredge bought his first car, a Triumph Herald 1200, when he was just sixteen years old. At twenty-one he purchased a Vitesse, and as with the Herald, he completely rebuilt the car. Since then he has also acquired an Alpine A610 - but no Volvo Amazon. Yet. The first book Richard ever wrote was the history of Volvo. A regular contributor to motoring magazines such as Practical Classics and Classic Car Weekly, Richard also writes for Auto Express, Sunday Times. He runs www.firstcar.co.uk for new drivers.

As a Volvo owner and enthusiast, and a collector of automotive literature, I highly recommend this book. A truly exceptional effort on the part of the author and publisher. I have an automotive library that numbers in the low thousands. This book ranks right at the top. FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4.0 out of 5 stars Enzyklopädische Dokumentation des Volvo Amazon mit kleinen Schwächen
Reviewed in Germany on January 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
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.
