I ran slightly bedraggled 140s as my only car for many years without bother. The heavy steering and rot were the main bugbears, compensated for by that excellent heater and A60 levels of simplicity. Honest quality Volvos before they went all FWD and trendy.
That was in the Eighties. Now I'd plump for a good 240- easier to find parts, PAS, a bit more go and the same brilliant Sixties shell.
Happy hunting, they are about!
