Description

Before being acquired by a Volvo enthusiast and added to his collection, this car had several owners in Oregon, USA. It was imported to Sweden in February and underwent a full inspection that same month. The car is in great condition, free from rust or damage, features vibrant paintwork, a luxurious leather interior, and comes with its documentation, now ready for its new journey.

As Volvo's flagship model of the 1980s, it is equipped with an array of factory-installed luxuries. These include a high-quality stereo system, a glass sunroof, cruise control, leather seats that are electrically adjustable, an automatic transmission, and an electric antenna. The air conditioning has not been tested due to the cold weather, with an update to follow. The car has been freshly serviced, including oil and filter changes, and it operates exceptionally well, providing smooth and faultless gear shifts.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The test drive was limited because of a snowstorm, yet the car demonstrated a smooth running engine and gearbox. It has recently been serviced and inspected, valid until February 28, 2026, and will be delivered with a new cambelt and water pump. The engine bay is very clean and tidy, and it features stylish spoke alloy wheels fitted with good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    interior is in great condition, retaining all its original equipment. The seats are exceptionally well-maintained, with only minor signs of wear, primarily on the driver's bolster. The headliner and carpets are in good condition, and the sunroof is fully operational with no signs of leaks. All electrical components, including windows, mirrors, roof, seats, and radio, function properly. The dashboard and gauges are undamaged, with clear, pixelation-free displays. The boot space is clean and tidy, though there is cracked plastic around the lock, as highlighted in the pictures.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork boasts a rust-free condition without any damage, showcasing straight panels paired with a clean and tidy underbody. The paint remains vibrant and clean, albeit with a few minor stone chips on the bonnet and a small, barely noticeable dent on the driver's door. A small dent is also present on the plastic of the front bumper, as shown in the pictures. Apart from these minor issues, the car presents itself impressively.

  • General condition:

    This is a nicely maintained car that features the sleek Bertone design, paired with the bulletproof 2.3 turbo engine, making it a fun and usable youngtimer that you hardly ever see on the roads these days.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
