"The concept of “meticulously maintained" has been taken to a whole new, previously unknown level here."

Description

The first owner had the car for three years. Then the current owner came into the picture for the first time. He later sold it to an older man but bought it back again in 2016. Everything that has been done to the car since 1998 is meticulously documented and itemized—down to the finest details. Service intervals have not only been adhered to but also supplemented with additional servicing for precaution. All receipts and invoices are available, as well as the instruction manuals, service book, and a comprehensive set of keys.

Recently, the odometer was replaced, so the current mileage reads just over 900 km, while the actual mileage is around 17,000 km. It is truly a fully equipped car with virtually everything that could be added to a 850 model, including A/C, a CD changer, a fuel heater, and a Volvo original wooden steering wheel.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A virtually fully equipped car—everything works flawlessly, of course. The timing belt was recently replaced, along with the water pump, other belts, and all seals and gaskets in the engine. This has been done multiple times over the years for precautionary reasons. The engine bay is shining clean and fresh—almost like new.

    Listing everything that has been done to the car over the years would be extensive, but a detailed service log is available and included. As mentioned, the instrument cluster was replaced recently and reset, so the current mileage reads approximately 9000 km. The overall condition and impression of the car are closer to that figure than its actual mileage of 17,000 km.?

  • Interior condition:

    Very neat and well-preserved inside. New rubber mats are placed in the cabin and trunk. The carpet is in almost perfect condition. The front seats have been replaced—there was probably nothing wrong with the old ones, but a better pair was found and installed a few years ago. The woodwork is flawless, and the door panels, as well as all the nooks and crannies in the doors and trunk, are clean and well-maintained. The retractable cargo cover operates smoothly and is free from damage.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint is sleek and glossy. There are, of course, some stone chips, but they are surprisingly few. A few minor blemishes are visible on the front, beneath the bumper. The lower edge has some scratches on the plastic, but they are not noticeable. The undercarriage maintains the same standard as the rest of the body. It has been carefully rust-proofed at regular intervals, with the inner wheel arches also being removed and rust-proofed from the inside. Whenever any part of the chassis has been replaced, it has been rust-proofed separately before installation.

  • General condition:

    A meticulously maintained and fully equipped GLT with the large 2.5-liter engine in this condition is something one might expect to see in the Volvo Museum/World of Volvo collection—but they don’t have one. Here’s your chance to acquire the car they missed.

Auction information

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.
