Hi Folks!
I am clearing out a couple of sheds with parts and spares for the first 145S in the UK, imported by my Father into the UK in 1968. I grew up in it, my kids grew up in it, my Father was in ‘The Car’s the Star’ in 1990 (?), two friends had it for a while and became Volvo converts. I left it with another when I moved to China in 2008 after driving it fully roadworthy from Essex to Cornwall, and the trail ran cold.
Some of the parts are new, others rare. I will list individually but here’s an overview so if you are stranded save for a part then get in touch.
Unearthed so far:
B20 engine, I think B20E with fuel injector ports from 1973 144?
4-speed gearbox and propshaft
Both LH and RH rear light lenses and seals, great condition
Very good front passenger door, little rust, zero holes
Multiple chrome trim stripes, both 145 straight and some 144 wheel arch
HS6 twin carbs, sound but missing one spring and recommend refresh kit
New: B20 standard Deves full piston ring kit
New: poly bushes for front suspension upgrade
New: poly bushes for rear suspension linkages
New: magnetic oil sump plug
Bosch alternator
Multiple switches: rear defrost, lights, wipers, 2x indicator stalks, reversing light switch
New: plastic clutch alignment tool
New: steering column felt bearings
New: neoprene oil seal to replace front felt seal; plus a couple of new rear oil seals.
Spare inlet and exhaust valves, rockers, tappet adjusters.
Interior light bodies and lenses
Brake items: rear calipers, balancer, distribution block, m/cyl piston
