1985 Volvo 244 2.3L Automatic For Sale

For Sale is my 1985 Volvo 240 GL in Bordeaux Red. It's done 129, 081 Miles with a load of history dating back years and It has a fresh MOT. I'm only selling it due to getting married and also moving house, and its only covered 30 miles since the last MOT. If you have been reading publications like classic car weekly you will know these are excellent robust classics for the winter seasons and are quickly appreciating in value.

Over the few years I have owned it it has had the front springs replaced, front brake disks and pads, front ball joints, a new water pump and radiator hoses (fitted only a few weeks ago), a brand new original exhaust system, the PCV system has been totally replaced (very important and neglected part of maintaining a 240), 4 new continental tyres and it has just had the sills sandblasted, repaired and stone-chipped. it also has a cambelt change recently in the past with invoice.

The paintwork still looks nice for a car of it's age, and with the cream powder-coated steel wheels and the hubcaps it's a real head turner. The 2. 3L redblock pulls well, and the gearbox shifts almost as smoothly as my modern S class, which is incredible considering its over 30 years old. With the suspension updated it is incredibly comfortable to drive. I purchased this as a reliable winter classic as driving my mini in the cold weather for my long commute wasn't very enjoyable, but the 240 always got more attention at the petrol station than the mini did!

The history is very comprehensive as you can see from the pictures and this car is a real survivor, it has been kept on the road at any expense. It also has a receipt from Volvo in 2002 for it to be converted to run on unleaded.

It is lovely and clean inside and out, and had age related marks more similar to a modern vehicle. it's a good honest car and it has been incredibly well looked after. Viewings are welcome. Feel free to contact me on the details below. Located Dunstable, Bedfordshire.
