"Due to the careful ownership and lack of winter driving, this car runs and drives like new. The odometer should have read 55025 km, but it stopped and was changed with one reading 221730 km for its inspection/MOT."

Description

The initial owner of this car in Hönö purchased it from Volvo Kinna Bil on April 11, 1988. He owned it until his death in 1988, at which point his brother became the legal owner. It was never driven in the winter throughout the brothers' ownership and was exclusively used as a summer car. The car was subsequently sold to a local woman, who kept it until 2019 when the current owner purchased it. The odometer stopped working at 55025 kilometers (10/11/2020), and it was changed with one that reads 221430 kilometers (the old odometer is included). The owner is a collector of Volvo cars, and the receipt for the exchange is also included. The car condition, which shows very few signs of wear consistent with a car that has traveled 55025 kilometers, further supports the mileage. The  car comes with good paperwork, service books, and is inspected until July 31, 2024.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives very well, has recently been serviced, and is inspected until 2024-07-31. The engine bay is still in excellent condition, with good wheels and tires, as well as a full tool kit and spare wheels. The radio aerial has to be repaired.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is very clean and undamaged, with seats and plastic trims in good condition. The front seats had seat covers and exhibit slight scuffs and dust stains. Like most cars from this era, the headliner is loose and has to be replaced. carpets are in good condition, and the boot space is clean.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint and body work are in excellent shape, with only a few minor surface rust spots on the inner arches and around the blinker. The car has had rust protection treatment since new, as well as a newer underseal. It has a little bumper scrape on the rear right corner (see photos). The only thing that could improve it is a polish.

  • General condition:

    This is a fine example of a 740 GL that is steadily gaining in value and in high demand due to its manual transmission.

  • 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.
