I've Just bought a 1971 144 GL
Hi Everyone,
I've just managed to find abd buy a 1971 144GL after the best part of 7 years of searching. does any one else own a 144GL ? - just how rare are these , I've looked just about ever week on ebay and the various other car sales sites and this is only the second one I've seen for sale and the other one was a later flush handle model. if any ones intrested I'll post some photos Simon |

rust in all the usual places :
wind screen from and rear front of wings rear wheel arches various places of surface rust 2 months left on MOT just been up to local resteration and subject to structual check booked in for Tue , I think were going to start with the rear wheel arches any recomendations for body specalists in the swindon area, I'll probably get a couple of quotes while I'm about it |

Congratulations, nice colour, and that interior will be great when it's tidied up.
howmanyleft.co.uk says there are 8 on the road and 2 SORN, so pretty rare! Kind regards Lucien |

140's
It was these that got me into Volvo's many moons ago...
Father had a '73 144 in yellow then a 145E with the injection reg UUP116N from memory, don't know where it is now but it use to fly and pull the Safari caravan with ease Have fun and enjoy yours
