"Nice 245 with a unique style and provenance. It is in the final and best-regarded version of the production cycle, and it is unusually well-equipped with both SE and a so-called Blackline package."

"Nice 245 with a unique style and provenance. It is in the final and best-regarded version of the production cycle, and it is unusually well-equipped with both SE and a so-called Blackline package."

Description

It was bought brand new at Bil & Truck in Gothenburg, and the original receipt (SEK 154,000) is still present. Front and rear power windows, central locking, air conditioning, and ribbed plush upholstery were all standard SE features. The initial owner added the original privacy protection and baggage compartment mat.
The car was cared for by the first owner's family, who upgraded corrosion protection, increased service intervals, and installed reversing alarms until it was purchased by motoring journalist Hans Hedberg in 2010. Certain paint improvements and technical evaluations were made as part of a project car for the car magazine Teknikens Värld. The concept was to go on and interpret a previous trend with a body package introduced by Volvo Cars in the late 1980s, but this time with a Cross Country mindset. With the addition of new XC rims (16"), a raising kit (25 mm), extra lights, original decals, and a Thule roof rack, the car was transformed into the ultimate Cross Country machine.
Following that, it spent over 10 years as a devoted reporting car for Teknikens Värld, visiting the Austrian Alps as well as Nordic highlands such as Trollstigen and the Western Cape in Norway, in addition to Sweden. The maintenance was carried out in line with the service schedule, and the windscreen was recently replaced due to wear after all of the kilometers. It will soon have recorded nearly 250,000 kilometers, which many 240 enthusiasts will definitely classify as "just run in." The car will be tax-free in just over a year, decreasing ownership costs even further.
Hans Hedberg recommends that the next owner "keep the Cross Country style and possibly build on the XC route with another elevating kit, larger wheels, and why not AWD four-wheel drive!" The latter sounds harder, but it would really showcase the project's ambition and keep the spirit alive in an entertaining way.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Mechanically, the car is well-kept and tested, and the engine and transmission feel healthy.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is unusually well-kept for a car that will soon have travelled 250,000 kilometres. The plush interior feels new, as do the door sides and headliner. The original supplementary equipment, such as the luggage mat and privacy protection, is still present and in good shape.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's original gray metallic paint is still in good condition, with a few cosmetic paint improvements.

  • General condition:

    This 245 is in good and useable condition, with paperwork and provenance that adds to the fun and appeal of the car.

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