Description

Delivered by Volvo dealer Karlbergs in Vimmerby to its first owner in Hultsfred, probably a gas station owner. The company name still exists today in Båstad, and there is a service stamp from Båstad prior to the previous owner purchasing the car in 1992 – the owner who kept the car the longest. She maintained the service more diligently than the book required at Volvo dealer Bildeve in Helsingborg until 2002 and 134,720 km. After that, there is no documentation for the following 37,700 km and 23 years, but according to information, she used a small workshop for maintenance, which seems very likely given her earlier service discipline. However, there is no record of a timing belt replacement, which on a B230F is recommended every 80,000 km or every 5 years. It should be possible to check in Volvo dealers’ databases, and in the book it says “Original service” at 67,000 km and 106,480 km. It is quite reasonable to assume that a timing belt replacement was carried out at one of those times.

The current owner was originally looking for a daily-driver 245 but came across this example and soon realized the car must become an enthusiast’s vehicle – it was simply far too good to be sacrificed on the altar of everyday use. The car has recently been reconditioned and passed inspection without remarks on 2025-08-12.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The B230 purrs as it should with its fan, and the 5-speed gearbox works well together with the chassis and brakes. Documented well serviced up to 137,000 km, and also thereafter according to verbal information from the previous owner. The engine bay has not been washed due to concerns about possible electrical faults caused by moisture. Nice detail with a working lamp in the engine compartment.

  • Interior condition:

    Fresh and well-kept leather interior with the usual small entry wear on the left side of the driver’s seat. On the other seats, however, there seems to have been little passenger use, although there is a scratch mark on the right side of the rear seat. Somewhat surprising is that the seatback pockets of the front seats are so stretched out. Possibly the previous owner had something stored there for a longer period, stretching the vinyl fabric and elastic. The right-side panel in the luggage compartment needs to be adjusted/repaired and secured at the top.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice original paint with a small scrape on the right rear wheel arch from a garage entrance. A loose trim piece at the front edge of the right front wing may possibly come from the same garage incident. Older Fulda tires with good tread on stylish original Volvo Scorpius wheels with a few minor rim scuffs.

  • General condition:

    A model, a childhood memory, and a faithful servant all in one – and for many, in an especially appealing specification and in attractive condition with few owners and good history.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • 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.
