1993 240 Torslanda Est - Barons Sandown Pk Sat 26th Oct 2019 For Sale by Auction

Volvo 240 Torslanda Estate owned by the vendor for three and a half years, during which time he has spent £4, 000 renewing, maintaining and updating it through a classic Volvo specialist. The car had one owner for the first 23 years of its life, where it did 50, 000 miles over its first three years as a business car, and then 2, 000 miles a year during the owner's 20 years of retirement. It came to the vendor via the third registered keeper, who had secured it from the previous owner's probate estate with a view to selling it on.

The 240 Torslanda is the "last-of-the-line" Volvo 240s which were made from 1974 until 1993, and is named after the factory in Sweden where it was produced. This car is completely original and unmodified. Fitted with a Bluetooth stereo/ CD player/ USB system but retaining the original wiring, and the original Volvo radio cassette player comes with the car. Also fitted is a steel luggage barrier/ dog guard, although the car has never carried pets or been smoked in.

Since 2016 the car has had a new cambelt, a new rear electrics loom, a new emissions management system from Volvo in Sweden, a completely new exhaust system from Volvo in Sweden, new suspension poly-bushes all round, new tyres all round, and most recently new wiper blades all round.

The service history includes Volvo servicing from the car's early years, MoT certificates and mileage records for the next 15 years when it covered very few miles, and most recently full servicing over the last four years at a classic Volvo specialists. The car has been MoT'd and roadworthy all the years of its life, and currently has an MoT with no Advisories. The car has just had a full service in August 2019, with new brake fluid, oil and filters, plus new spark plugs. There is an extensive file with all the relevant documentation and invoices, and both original sets of keys.

The car is well set up for many more miles of service as it a low-mileage example of this model, and should be a future classic; The vendor just no longer has the space to keep it and is reluctantly looking for a fellow Volvo fan to take it on. The engine is very smooth and clean with no leakage of gases, fluids or exhaust anywhere, and is a great pleasure to drive.
