"Original version in all details the cars in an impeccable condition with an exciting Swedish history for an American export model."

Description

This car began its life as an exhibition car at Volvo cars headquarters in 1983, under Pehr G Gyllenhammar's management. It was there until 1997 when Helmia Bil in Torsby bought it. The car was registered as model year 1983 and got a new chassis number stamped in the right door frame, when a number for American export couldn’t be registered in Sweden. A 242 DL in a USA specification had among other things an air conditioner and a square lights. L and DL meant something else in the equipment spec of the North American market, and sometimes a 240 is called just "a DL" in everyday numbers among Volvo fans in the United States.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    US-equipped with a working AC facility. Current owners have changed all oils, liquids, belts and hoses. A hefty and comprehensive service, in other words. It’s a very well maintained example.

  • Interior condition:

    New car feeling everywhere inside the interior and it feels as if the driver's seat has a little extra fluffy seat cushion, perhaps to appease the American customers even further.

  • Exterior condition:

    White and clean with an undamaged and exterior. The car has hardly even been driven in rain and of course never in winter. Even the first owner's children weren't allowed to ride in it when they were little.

  • General condition:

    It’s an exceptionally original condition 240, with interesting history and attractive for young timer for both European and American enthusiasts.

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