145 parts
 

Hello, I`ve just joined the forum and hoping to find a good home for some bits I`ve kept for many years in the hope that one day I might get another 145.
The main item is a set of rear facing seats which were very good when taken out but the chrome now needs sorting, I also have some hubcaps, chrome locking petrol cap and a large bucket somewhere, which from memory has various other bits including light lenses.
Can anyone help me with the value and the best place to sell them please.

I don't know if the rear-facing seat assembly is the same as that for a Volvo 240, but I have a set in my latest 240 project, in very good condition and was on ebay - with no takers. If they are the same, fine but you will need the seat belt fittings to make it legally usable nowadays (my set has). The floor panels may be different too.
If different, the trouble is there are so few 145s on the road any more that the likelyhood of anybody wanting them is remote: my family don't as they are all over 40 now!
There were at least two different types of hubcaps fitted to 140-series cars (screw-on or knock-on), but again easily available from ebay and the likes. Maybe your 'bucket of other bits' might have some hard-to-come-by bits, but unless it includes such as front wings (!) won't exactly make you rich!

Ok thanks. I did look into fitting them into my 240 in the 90`s, and from memory they will fit into some 240`s depending on the size of the well, but I`m pretty sure they don`t have any seat belt fittings.
