"As close to new as you can get and incredibly well-preserved by its owner. This car is a joy to behold and would be a perfect fit for any car museum."

Description

One of the finest Volvo 745s we've seen. The car has been featured in various classic car magazines, including Klassikers Köpguide for the 745 (see pictures). It was also part of the filming for the movie "A Man Called Ove." The car has received numerous awards at different car meets, most recently being displayed at Vrom, where it was named "Club’s Winner" due to its excellent condition.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    In excellent technical condition overall. All functions are in order. The engine runs smoothly, and the gear changes are very distinct. All keys and documentation are included, as well as the original spare wheel and tools. The car has only been driven 2,000 kilometers in the last ten years.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is like new in EVERY aspect. A period-appropriate stereo is installed, likely from when the car was new.

  • Exterior condition:

    Externally, the car is almost perfect. There is a small paint chip on the tailgate above the handle. All windows, trim, and tires are in great condition.

  • General condition:

    A dream car for the enthusiastic Volvo collector and a vehicle that should be preserved and showcased for many generations of car enthusiasts.

Owner's comment

It was an experience to be part of the filming of "A Man Called Ove" with our fine Volvo (see pictures). In this car, no children have spilled ice cream in the back seat, no tradespeople have loaded boards in the trunk, no teenagers have skidded around in winter, and no heavy trailers have been towed through traffic.

Facts about the model

The Volvo 740 was developed in Sweden and the Netherlands, and was primarily assembled and built in Sweden, though also in Belgium. Volvo made a strong push into the American market, and in the USA, cars with a wedge-shaped, angular profile were highly fashionable during the 1970s and 1980s. Thus, the Volvo 740 adopted a distinctly angular design.

Production ceased with the 1993 model in the fall of 1992, due to the launch of the similar and updated Volvo 940. However, even two decades after production stopped, 700 series cars were still common on Swedish roads.

The Volvo 740 was occasionally referred to as the "Sossecontainer" because it was a popular car among the working class. This term should not be confused with the sister model Volvo 760, which was a luxury car at that time.

In 1986, the first estate model was introduced outside North America. The models that year looked exactly like those from 1985 but featured new wheel trims and a different logo on the model designation. Additionally, the GLE was also available with a turbo diesel engine (D24T with 109 hp and 205 Nm) from VAG.

  • 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.
