Description
It’s rare to encounter a Volvo in such fantastic condition. The car has been cared for from day one. It was driven more extensively in the early part of its life, but since then, it has seen very little use. It has been meticulously maintained and serviced. The daughter who currently owns the car has recently had it serviced at Volvo Rejmes, including new tires, a replaced timing belt with water pump, oil service, and much more—all to ensure the car is sold in the best condition possible. Additionally, it has just passed inspection.
I haven’t found a single rust spot on the car, but if there’s anything to mention, it’s a small parking dent on each front fender. These are very easy to fix if you want to invest a few thousand kronor.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Technically, the car is as close to new as possible. The engine runs quietly and smoothly, and the gears engage easily. The brakes are consistent with no rattling whatsoever. All keys are included.
-
Interior condition
The car has had seat covers since it was new. It has only been used by one person, with no passengers—hence its condition. The headliner is slightly sagging.
-
Exterior condition
The only minor issue is two small parking dents, one on each front fender; otherwise, it’s in excellent condition—5 stars.
-
General condition
One is impressed that cars like this still appear. In such remarkable condition, any car enthusiast would be delighted to see and drive this vehicle.

Owner's comment
My brother’s pride and joy, which we now hope will find its way into the right hands. To someone who understands what an icon this car was in its time and who has the appreciation to preserve it in the condition he would have wanted.
Facts about the model
The Volvo 740 was developed in Sweden and the Netherlands, primarily assembled and built in Sweden but also in Belgium. Volvo invested heavily in the American market, where wedge-shaped, angular profiles were in high fashion during the 1970s and 1980s, leading to the distinctive angular design of the Volvo 740.
Production ceased with the 1993 model in the fall of 1992 due to the introduction of the similar, updated Volvo 940. However, two decades after production stopped, cars from the 700 series remained common on the roads in Sweden.

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.
