Tracing my Fathers old 144DL or GL

[VOLVO GHILLIE]

I was wondering if any forum members have my Fathers old 144 saloon. He had it from new and I was using it in the last two years before it was disposed of.
It was orange in colour with black vinyl seats.It was located in Mid-Cheshire. Reg no was OTU 904L. It would be nice to know if the orange volvo has survived........

I think as memory serves we had her in the family for about 18 years? She was maintained regardless of cost until the day she failed the MOT on serious rusting on floor and chassis. I was quoted serious money, at the time, to get the welding done, so she was left parked up on the drive. I moved north and my late Father sold her on to someone, as memory serves me. I have owned Volvo's ever since.
Volvo 240 GLT estate D241 FFS Silver, now sold on. My current 240se stored/sorn 240SE L450 GJO and my regular run around L reg 240se, which I bought 2 years ago. A credit to its previous owner in Yorkshire......and still in superb condition I hasten to add!
