That looks rather good to me.

Interior and doors look to be from 200 and interesting no details

Having had both 145S and 164E back in the day that just looks wrong to me.

No under bonnet photos, so I would hope the cut and shut welding is more like Volvo standard than Vietnamese chicken poo. Interesting to see how much it sells for.

I saw this car about 10 to 15 years ago when I bought some rover p4 parts from the owner, he had several 140s but he knew this one was special and I’m sure he told me it was a professional conversion by Mumford from new along with a handful of others but I didn’t spot the 200 series interior

That is interesting. If it is a genuine professional conversion from new, it needs rescuing. Given it has a 200 interior and doors, I think the whole back end is 200 series. From memory my 145 had a small exposed fuel filler cap, not behind a big flap. Logical that Mumford would use a complete shell and not a bitser from several cars.

MOT history only lists current MOT with perished tyres and slow windscreen washers. Not bad for a new test after storage. Also listed as a Volvo Unknown.

Late 145’s have the same door handles as the 245 and they also have the fuel filler behind the flap. My money is on it being a 145 shell with 164 inner wings and legs grafted on.

Lot Number: 03
Estimate: £2,000 - 3,000
• V5 Present
• MoT Oct 2019
• Chassis number: 243576
This Estate is the front part of a 164 saloon and the rear part of a 145, professionally rebuilt by Clutterbuck Coachbuilders sometime, it is believed, during the 1980's. It has had a period of storage, covering around 1,000 miles in the last seventeen years. The vendor's father had owned the car from 2004 until his recent passing. It comes with a few MoTs from the early 2000's when it was last issued at 95,276 miles, tax discs from the 1980's, older V5, a previous owner's description and photo album. The mileage is recorded at 95,571.
