1989 Volvo 240 GLT saloon (Manual 5 speed) SOLD

I owned a Volvo 240 GLT for 14 years previously and I bought this one for nostagic reasons and it’s great but I cant afford to keep two cars on the road so I want to sell it.

The 1980 advert called it the 244 GLT. It was originally designed for police work and had a top speed of 112 mph. It moved from 0-60mph in 9. 5 seconds. (faster than the BMW 525 or the Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2000L)

The 2. 3 litre is the biggest of the Volvo engines fitted to 240s but it’s fuel injection and usually more economical than the less powerful carburettor engines.

The car has receipts and a full service history recorded consisting of 34 service stamps from the same Volvo garage from 19/ 12/ 89 to 5/ 8/ 08.
(From 94 miles to 50755 miles)

The car has about 53000 miles currently on the clock.
This means that the car has had the oil changed approximately every 1500 miles, which explains why the oil still looks so clean.

The timing belt has been changed three times at 29380, 42278 and 50006 miles.

Accessories
Four car keys and two petrol cap keys.
Four floor trays (like new)
Electric aerial
Front spot lights
Original radio cassette CR-705 in working order with instruction book
Spare wheel and tool kit

Condition
There are no known mechanical faults and the body is very good*.
The leather is still almost perfect and interior very good.
It has the original red Volvo spare petrol can – hidden under the carpet in the boot.
Alloy wheels are good
Tyres are all Michelins and have several thousand miles of wear left on them
The engine bay is very clean

Known faults
* There is a slight crease in the rear side panel, which will be difficult to see in the photos.

Work done since I’ve owned the car.
I bought the car after a torch inspection in the dark last November and didn’t notice a small dent around the front passenger door handle. Braydon Motors remedied this. I have before and after photos if required.

This is a fantastic car, it goes like a steam train and should last many trouble free years.


MOT to December 2009
Tax to 30/ 11/ 2009
