Beschreibung
The body has held up well and, according to information, retains its original paint except for the rear section. Following an accident in the Netherlands, a previous owner carried out a poor repair, so in 1999 the current owner replaced both rear fenders and the rear panel. The original tailgate was kept, and the entire rear section was repainted.
The interior, including the front seats and rear bench, has been replaced. To date, the car has covered approximately 550,000 km. The engine, however, has been replaced and has only 120,000 km on it. In 2009, it was also fitted with a gearbox from a newer model featuring five gears. The odometer has been replaced as well, meaning the reading does not reflect the actual mileage.
The car has been serviced regularly every year, always receiving at least oil and filter changes as needed. Included with the car are some original documents and the Dutch owner’s manual, as well as two sets of keys. The car passed inspection on April 29 this year and is ready to drive.

Zustand technisch
Starts and runs smoothly with a stable engine and drivetrain. During a short test drive in urban conditions, everything appeared to function well in terms of steering, clutch, gearbox, and brakes. There was some play in the front suspension, possibly in the bushings. The car runs on petrol, with a standard 60-liter tank. The gas system works at idle but does not perform beyond that. The unit has been serviced and operated properly for a while, but some additional attention is needed to get the gas system fully functional again.
It has not been inspected on a lift, but from what could be seen, all vital components appeared to be in good condition. No remarks were noted underneath at the most recent vehicle inspection. -
Zustand Interieur
The interior is in good condition. The current owner has upgraded it with different front seats, a rear bench, and other details. It offers good comfort and is overall tidy and well-kept for a driver’s car. The seats are comfortable, and the steering wheel, controls, dashboard, and gauges are all in proper working order. All electrical functions operate as they should, though there is some noise from the heater fan — it sounds as if something is rubbing against the fan blades. Accessories include an original tachometer, a newer Volvo stereo, new door seals, and more.

Zustand Exterieur
Appears to have its original paint (except for the rear section) in dark green, color code 142. Everything is in good, usable condition with normal wear consistent with age and mileage. There are some scratches, stone chips, and a small dent on the top of the right front fender. The glass, trim, emblems, and lighting components are in good condition. Equipped with working auxiliary fog lights. The aluminum wheels and Michelin tires are in good shape, showing normal use. A charming detail is the small side indicator lights on the front fenders — a reminder of its time in the Netherlands.

Fakten zum Modell
Over the years, countless versions and updates were made. When the new 740 model arrived in 1984, many thought the “old” 240’s days were over — but Volvo shifted gears and continued to develop it further.
Throughout its production run, the 240 was offered with various engines — petrol, diesel, and even turbocharged versions — and at one point, a gas-powered variant. It was available in two-, four-, and five-door body styles. Different trim levels added sportiness or luxury, but the most authentic examples were perhaps the DL and GL models, true symbols of Sweden’s welfare-era motoring.
The GL model was initially the more upmarket version but was gradually repositioned as the entry-level standard model by the 1979 model year. For 1980, all models received interior-adjustable mirrors, and the B23A engine was introduced as standard for the GL.
There were certainly faster or flashier cars on the market, but few could match the Volvo 240’s unique blend of simplicity, durability, quality, and safety — the down-to-earth family car. In total, over 2.8 million Volvo 240s were built between 1974 and 1993, and today, this once humble people’s car has become a cherished classic on its 50th anniversary.
