"This car offers an incredibly enjoyable driving experience, thanks to its meticulous ownership and a fully stamped service book dating all the way back to 1975 – a rarity in today's market. There are no issues to report; it starts effortlessly and performs exceptionally well in terms of the engine, brakes, and gears. It feels impressively stable on the road. Moreover, it has a valid inspection until April 30, 2024, and is ready to be driven home."

Description

This remarkable car was originally delivered by the Volvo dealer Evald Andersson in Hallsberg on April 11, 1975, and has had only 7 owners throughout its lifetime. What truly sets it apart is the fully stamped original service book, which validates its incredibly low mileage of just 140,051 kilometers, a testament to its careful ownership over the years.

The current owner, a devoted Volvo enthusiast, has cherished this car for 6 years. Notably, the previous owner had the car repainted approximately 10 years ago, restoring it to its original color, and it still retains its excellent condition today. Throughout the current owner's tenure, the car has received regular servicing, including recent replacements of the battery, fuel pump, and rear dampers, ensuring it remains in top running condition.

Additionally, the car is currently inspected until April 30, 2024, with the final inspection after that granting it exemption for life, making it even more desirable for collectors and enthusiasts.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    This Volvo 240 is undoubtedly one of the finest I've had the pleasure of driving in recent memory. It offers a truly enjoyable driving experience, and you'd hardly believe it's nearly 50 years old. The car presents no notable issues, except for a non-functional clock and the inclusion of more modern alloy wheels with good tires. Under the hood, the engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with only minor surface rust spots on the front plate, as depicted in the pictures. In essence, just turn the key and drive off with confidence.

  • Interior condition

    The entire interior of the car has been exceptionally well-preserved and feels almost like new. It's impressively clean and fresh, displaying no signs of damage, except for some loose vinyl around the driver's seat handle for tilting the seat, as shown in the picture. Additionally, a more modern and functioning stereo has been installed, enhancing the overall interior experience.

  • Exterior condition

    The car's bodywork is in excellent condition, featuring straight panels, no rust, precise shut lines, and a clean underbody. The previous application of internal body rust protection has contributed to its current state.
    The paintwork is notably bright and well-maintained, as is the chrome on the bumpers. There are only three minor issues to note: a small blister near the rear bumper, a minor blemish above the rear ventilation grill under the window, and a small paint flake on the edge of the passenger-side front wing, likely caused by a pressure washer accident.

  • General condition

    Any Volvo enthusiast would be thrilled to own and drive this car, with many trouble-free motoring years to look forward to.

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