Volvo 262C turns 40

When bored or rain-stops-play I look at classic cars offered for sale on ebay, and this last year or so several 262s have come up, so they are out there. However, most are virtually rebuild projects, as the few good ones around are revered and now pampered pets. I know a few owners so can say that with confidence!
However, if prepared to either import a good one or take on a probably expensive rebuild, you will get one, no problem, but not as quickly as other Volvo models in already-decent condition.

Volvo for ever - I've just had a mail from a friend with a 262 who also loves those V6s and has plans for better lubrication to his 2.7 engine.
He would welcome direct contact with such as you, so if you want his email address please PM me.
