In 1976, I bought my first Volvo, mainly to accommodate the Old English sheepdog fashion accessory my wife insisted we have. It was a 1971 J reg but it didn't have the opening rear windows shown here. Bought from the Volvo main dealer in Maidstone, it cost £1795. It was badged an E, or an S but the garage had put a new standard engine in and converted the auto choke to manual and zeroed the mileometer at the same time. I can't remember why it needed a new engine after only four years. Very solid car and was totally reliable. Sold it to my next door neighbour eventually and bought an S reg 245DL from the main dealer in Tonbridge. That cost about £4500 I think.
If I hadn't recently bought my 940 estate, I would have been tempted by yours.
