Volvo 144 B18 — 1967

Owning an early model Volvo 144 in a remarkably untouched and original condition with just 4 owners and 98,763 original kilometer is an exceptional situation. It's difficult to imagine a better combination of factors. This is a truly special find that any car enthusiast would appreciate.

Description

This car began its journey in Lycksele, passing through the hands of three owners, two of whom were from the same family. It stayed in the same region until the current owner, now the fourth, acquired it in 2008. The car comes with a treasure trove of historical documents and inspection reports that verify its genuine mileage of just 98,763 kilometers. The present owner, a devoted Volvo enthusiast with a deep understanding of the 140 Volvo series, couldn't resist purchasing this gem in 2008. This car stands as a testament to its originality, with no body panels ever replaced or welded. There were only two instances of partial repainting: once in the 1970s due to a battery burst affecting the left inner and outer wing, and another in the late 1960s when the left rear wing received attention following a parking dent. Presently, the car remains in outstanding condition, free from rust issues and displaying a vibrant paint finish. It boasts iconic original features from the early 140 series, such as double door hinges, chrome pop-out door handles, elongated inner door handles, and an all-original interior and instrument panel. The car's documentation is impressive, including the original owner's manual and service book.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    This car is impeccably maintained to the highest standards and is regularly driven during the summer. The owner added a functioning overdrive gearbox, while keeping the original parts for those who prefer authenticity. The engine bay and boot space are in excellent condition, and the car features clean steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in superb condition, retaining all of its original features. Interestingly, it has never been equipped with a radio, preserving the integrity of the dashboard, which also includes the pull-out ashtray. Both front and rear seat belts are present, and there are no notable damages or concerns to mention, except for a minor repair patch on the driver's seat bolster, hardly noticeable.

  • Exterior condition:

    As mentioned before, the bodywork is fully original and shows no signs of rust. The only tiny dents to mention are on the rear panel top side near the boot lid and one little dent on the bonnet; otherwise, the bodywork is straight. The paintwork is bright and well-kept, with minor touch-ups peppered around "see pictures." Very nice chrome work and trims, as well as the underbody is solid "see pictures"

  • General condition:

    It will be extremely rare to locate another car in this original condition and with such little mileage that has been so well maintained by its four owners. It has lived a very charmed life and any Volvo enthusiast will be delighted to own such a car.

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