Description

This Swedish-sold car has had a total of 7 owners, including the Volvo dealer, and it is impressive that the current owner has kept it as their first car for 36 years. It has been stored in a garage on and off for the past 15 years, but has been regularly driven as a summer car since 2022.

The car comes with fantastic history and documentation, including an excel file detailing work carried out over the past 38 years. It has always been kept in usable condition. The car will need some bodywork repairs due to rust, particularly around the lower body, front and rear wings, sills, lower rear panels and around the windscreen. Fortunately, newer panels are available for these repairs (see pictures).

The interior has held up well and looks presentable, with only two small cracks on the dashboard panel. All gauges work, and the car runs and drives fine.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car ran without problems during the test drive, starting easily and with decent brakes and gear shifts. It felt stable on the road. It has steel wheels, although one hubcap is missing (which is in the boot). The tires are in acceptable condition. Also included are a spare bonnet, three additional steel wheels, chrome trims, and deluxe badges (refer to the pictures).

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean and well-maintained for its age and mileage. The seats are generally in good condition, though the rear seat is slightly sun-bleached, and there are a few small rips in the rear vinyl behind the driver’s seat. The passenger seat has some loose stitching. The door cards and carpets are intact with only minor signs of wear, and the headliner is clean and in good shape. The dashboard has some small cracks on the top panel, but the gauges function properly (see pictures).

  • Exterior condition:

    As mentioned, the lower bodywork will need attention in the future (see pictures). The underbody shows signs of older repairs but remains generally solid with no major issues. The paintwork is presentable overall, though it does have some marks and touch-ups.

  • General condition:

    The Volvo 142 always looks better as a two-door model. Mechanically, it’s in good shape and can be driven as is, making it a great summer car. However, the bodywork will need attention, making it a perfect winter project.

  • 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.
