It is a die‑cast replica of the Volvo Amazon 4‑door saloon, a car designed by Jan Wilsgaard and built between 1956 and 1970. Over 650,000 Amazon models were produced in real life, of which more than 234,000 were the 4‑door saloon version that this model replicates.
The Oxford die‑cast version is finished in a pale green body colour with a darker green interior. It carries the registration JHO 887E. The front radiator grille is rendered in silver on a matt black background, and exterior trim is supplied in silver/chrome on a black chassis.
