1989 Volvo 440 GLT FSH 32k Miles MOT June 2020 For Sale

I recently bought this Volvo from a friend who found it in Doncaster where it had been sat in a dry garage for nearly 10 years, it was owned by an elderly man who had recently passed away, and had only covered 29k in it . I bought the car, and had it re-commissioned by a local classic car specialist, this included -

- Oil and Filter
- Spark Plugs
- Air Filter
- Fuel Filter
- Waterpump and Fresh Coolant
- Cambelt Kit
- Brakes Stripped and Rebuilt
- New Brake Flexi's All Round
- 4x New Tyres
- New Exhaust Hangers
- New Throttle Position Sensor
- MOT June 2020


I have also fitted a new distributor cap, rotor arm and HT leads, ECU water temp sensor, throttle position sensor, intake air temp sensor, fitted mats.

The old man who owned the car before me had it serviced religiously every year, its had 3 cambelts, its got a stamp for every year up to 2010, he even used volvo's own screenwash. The car comes with all the owners manuals, a volvo diary and lifetime care information tape. its also got a volvo towbar fitted with single electrics, i doubt it has been used much.

The car recently sailed through the MOT with the tester remarking on its condition, it drives really well, everything is still tight, it has no knocks or bangs, and because its a GLT it handles well too. It pulls smoothly through all the gears, the 1. 7 injected engine has a respectable 109hp, and isnt slow at all.

Being the top of the range GLT it is well equiped, it has the factory volvo cassette deck, heated seats, electric mirrors, front electric windows, oil pressure and voltage gauge plus the usual features, and everything works.

According to how many left (i know its not entirely accurate) this will now be the only 80's 440 GLT left on the road, and it is a good one. Ideal for anyone who wants to keep and enjoy a 440, without the complexity of the turbo. It has no CAT no engine warning light, no ABS, no traction control so its simple and should give thousands of trouble free miles now all the service work has been done.

Its not perfect, it has a small patch of surface rust on the front wings, a simple fix, the autoreverse on the cassette deck is temperamental and the washer bottle level warning light is on, i will have a go at sorting this before the sale, the boot struts are weak and the passenger window is noisy when going up. It also idles low when cold, and requires a touch of throttle to start, when up to temperature it idles very well for the 440 of this age.

Im currently using it to commute to work to iron out any faults that might come up, but none have yet and i doubt any will. Its been a reliable, comfy and economical car. I have now done 3000 miles in the car, which have been trouble free, including some 200 miles journeys.

Im only selling as i have 6 cars, and im being pressured into getting rid of a few.

If you need any more info let me know, please ring after 6pm.

The price is negotiable.
