"An estate car with a subtle twist befitting its nature; leather interior, aluminum wheels, and a slightly unusual metallic paint."

Description

The car was delivered by the Volvo dealer Bildeve AB in Helsingborg in August 1978, and the first owner traded it in at the same dealership three years later, in July 1981. Just a month later, the current owner's mother purchased the car to have it at their summer house in Arild. It has remained there all these years and has only been used during the summer. It has been primarily used for dog transportation, art tours, and local trips, but in recent years, the car has not been driven at all. The garage where it was stored is an older concrete cold garage, which means ventilation has been less optimal. However, the car has been started now and has undergone necessary maintenance for inspection, which it passed successfully on June 15, 2023. The odometer currently reads 95,648 km, but the car has not been driven or covered many miles since the odometer stopped. Therefore, it is highly likely that the mileage is under 100 000 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has undergone a series of maintenance procedures after a long period of inactivity. It has received an engine oil service, brake service (new discs, lines, and pads), a new exhaust system, a new alternator with belts, and the timing belt has been replaced. It has also passed the latest vehicle inspection successfully. However, the automatic transmission would benefit from an oil service by a new owner.

  • Interior condition:

    Light-colored leather interior with only minor damage, but the leather needs proper cleaning, conditioning, and even coloring. This would significantly improve the interior appearance. However, it is also possible to simply scrub and condition it, which is enough. Nice ceiling and cargo space.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint has suffered some blemishes and has become dull, particularly on the roof, due to the period of inactivity in a poorly ventilated cold garage. However, with modern materials and techniques, it is likely that this paint can be polished, restoring certain areas to almost new condition. The original aluminum wheels are in presentable condition, and they can easily be refurbished through water blasting and re-lacquering. The sills have been treated with some type of period-appropriate body filler.

  • General condition:

    Polishing the paint, performing a leather restoration, changing the oil in the automatic transmission, and fitting fresh tires will transform this uncommon Volvo 245 into a nicely preserved condition, suitable for practical enthusiast use during the summer months.

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.
