Volvo 144 B20 — 1973

• Zustand technisch

  Starts fine, runs as it should on the road and the three-speed automatic gearbox shifts smoothly with kickdown functioning properly. Idle speed appears low and not entirely smooth. Some hoses and other rubber components should be inspected as minor cracking is visible, engine mounts have also lost their tension.

• Zustand Interieur

  Upholstery in very good condition with some wear to the driver's seat and a small tear on the side. Otherwise the textiles are in very good condition, as are the floor mat and headliner. Door panels are nice for their age but appear to have been touched up slightly in colour. Dashboard is complete, steering wheel is wrapped and taped – we have not inspected what lies underneath. The centre console features some kind of homemade control that is not connected to anything. The opening mechanism for the right-hand ventilation window is missing.

• Zustand Exterieur

  The front of the car has been repainted, the remaining paint appears to be original and mostly unrestored. Welds and panel gaps are factory-original on the body and boot with all that entails, so we assume it is largely unmolested. There is some filler and spackle in the rear wheel arch edges and some blistering in that area. The front fenders are in fine condition. The boot space is very tidy. The spare wheel wells have had some fresh paint applied at some point.

• Zustand gesamt

  In overall good condition, well maintained. The mileage is difficult to verify, but if the odometer is correct, it shows a surprisingly fine and pleasant figure. A basic inspection is in order as some hoses and other components such as engine mounts are beginning to age and dry out. Check dampers and suspension. Some adjustments may be needed as the car has been standing still for much of recent years.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
