My first encounter with Volvo was just like this one in 1973 when a family friend purchased a new one having discounted a Rover P6 for not having a big enough boot for all the garden bags of compost etc. It was a light green colour and within a couple of years was back having the boot repainted as it had faded. Seems the top surfaces may have been a bit poor that year and it only lasted about eleven years before the rot took it out. Still I've now had fifty years with the marque so it was a good start.

Good result for the 144. Not much restoration needed, a change of oil and fresh air in the tyres and it should be good to go
The 145 must have been something special. I had my first Volvo in 1973, a 1969 145S, loved it so much, I have been a continuous Volvo owner since.
