"Don’t let this one meet the fate of becoming an A-traktor."

Description

This Volvo has been family-owned since it was purchased from Upplands Motor in October 1990, where it had been used as a demo vehicle. The car has been driven by one family member up to the present day. It hasn’t been used for long trips, mostly serving for commutes and trips to a summer cottage in Norrtälje. The owner has meticulously maintained the car, and it has always been stored in a garage. It has also been used sporadically during the winter months. In 2011, the owner was involved in a minor collision in a roundabout, and Bilia was tasked with repairing the Volvo. They addressed all the damage to the body and paintwork, and a front headlight was also replaced.

During 2024, the car has seen very little use. The trip meter stopped working in 2023 just before the inspection, which was carried out on April 20, 2023. Based on the owner’s calculations and saved fuel receipts since then, the car has driven approximately 80 kilometers, assuming a fuel consumption rate of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. A set of four studded winter tires from Hakkapeliitta on alloy wheels is included with the car, as shown in the picture. All relevant documentation is also available.

Owner’s list of repairs and services over the years:

• 1991 - Service at 15,300 km.
• 1992 - Service at 29,600 km.
• 1997 - Exhaust system replacement excluding the front pipe.
• 2000 - Service at 75,090 km.
• 2003 - Service at 86,130 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine and drivetrain run smoothly. The brakes are responsive and work evenly.

  • Interior condition:

    The “Volvo R.Sport” seat covers have been on since the family purchased the car. They are now a bit dry and brittle. The condition of the original seat fabric underneath is uncertain, but when we checked the passenger seat cushion, the fabric looked to be in good condition. The headliner is in good shape. The rubber floor mats and carpets are in okay condition. The door panels are also in good condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    The driver’s door and left rear door have a parking dent, as shown in the photos. Otherwise, the exterior is in decent, usable condition with signs of regular use.

  • General condition:

    With its (relatively low for a Volvo) 112,000 kilometers on the odometer, the car is in good and usable condition.

Facts about the model

Most of us have, at some point, owned, driven, ridden in, or have memories of a Volvo 740, a true Swedish classic. The new 700 series was launched in 1982, initially as a six-cylinder premium car. In 1984, the four-cylinder people’s car, the Volvo 740, was introduced. The first version was the GLE with fuel injection and 129 horsepower. Following that came the true volume model, the GL with a carburetor and 112 horsepower. In the fall of 1987, the GLT version was introduced with 16 valves and dual overhead camshafts. Our beloved “sossecontainer” (socialist container) was produced until 1992 in a variety of versions, both as a sedan and a wagon. It was replaced by an updated version with the 900 series. After years of hectic family life and hard work in commercial traffic, the number of these reliable workhorses is rapidly dwindling. For those that have been well cared for and have survived, a new era as an enthusiast car is now beginning.
