1972 VOLVO 144DL SOLD

This car is a genuine one-off, its a 1971 built Volvo 144DL, early this year driven on a heritage tour of the alps with 120 other classic cars.
A privately organised jaunt to pay homage to the famous Rally des Alpes, it covered 2000 miles in 2 weeks, in all weathers and conditions with no problems.

I have done a lot of research on the car since I bought it, it had the same owner from 1972 till 1982, last year it had a rebuilt brake servo and callipers, and it had the engine re-built around ten years ago. It starts and runs literally like a new car, the engine is so quiet its amazing. The paintwork is in good condition and the steel wheels have recently been stripped and powder coated in cream, there is a small tear in the drivers seatback, otherwise the interior is in excellent condition.
Being classified as a historic vehicle means it is exempt of road tax in the united kingdom.

I will be very sad to see her go but due to a new addition to our family, I unfortunately am needing a newer car with rear seatbelts etc.

The car comes with a host of old MOT's and some other original paperwork including the original factory handbook.

Please call me with questions, due to the baby I am not often on the computer anymore.

Look forward to talking to you.
