[Healeys] Original Girling servo on Auction in Sweden..

[Charlie Baldwin]

Tadek,
My '65 122S (Amazon) wagon had one on it that looks just like this one.  
Many owners removed them when they failed, as I did, and the brakes 
seemed fine without them.  So to Volvo owners they were a throw away 
item.  I got rid of the car, but still have the servo.
They probably were an option on the sedans also, but I know that the USA 
bound wagons had them as standard.
I'll have to check some pictures that I have of 1800S engine comparments 
to verify that US models had the same type.  My 1800E has a different 
type, but there are many things different between that and earlier models.
There are so few GTs in the USA, that they aren't really a good source.  
Most of them went to Canada that came across the Atlantic.
I have a friend with two warehouses chock full of vintage Volvos and 
parts who should have a good quantity of these.  Of course they would 
need to be rebuilt to make sure they are okay.
