Volvo 142 Deluxe B20 — 1971

• Mechanical condition

  I’ve test-driven the car for over 10 km without any issues. The B20 engine runs smoothly, the automatic gearbox shifts properly, handling is nice and tight, and the brakes feel solid. The engine bay is clean and tidy, and the car has recently had a fluid change along with some aged rubber hoses replaced.
  
  The only note from the owner is a small oil drip from the gearbox—caused by worn rubber O-rings. A new set is included in the glovebox, ready to be fitted. The original wheels and hubcaps are undamaged and fitted with good tires. The car is inspection-exempt and ready to be driven home.

• Interior condition

  I have no issues or remarks—the interior still looks like new in every aspect. There’s no damage anywhere, and it hardly shows any signs of use at all.

• Exterior condition

  The car presents beautifully, and on close inspection, there are no signs of welding or repairs—everything appears original, which matches the paintwork. There’s no indication that it has ever been repainted. The only exception is a small area of paint damage on the passenger door and rear wing edge that was touched up years ago (see picture). The owner chose not to repaint these panels to preserve the car’s originality.
  
  The underbody is solid with no repairs—just a few minor spots of surface rust around the jack points, nothing of concern. All the chrome trim is bright and clean throughout.

• General condition

  Finding another car that matches this one in condition, mileage, and documentation is virtually impossible—unless you can somehow convince the Volvo Museum to part with something from their collection. Any true Volvo enthusiast would be proud to own a car like this.

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.
