Early 145 front valance

[WPR678B]

Just wondering if anyone had, or knew of where i could get, a front valance for my 1970 145?
Mine is pretty rough but repairable and i was wondering if anyone had a decent one for sale as it would save me many hours recreating whats missing from mine!!
Sadly LMC Hadrian no longer do this panel!

This is the nearest I can find; it is on the Bay of E and it aint cheap, with an opening bid of £140 requested, and £35 delivery quoted.

Smith & Deakin, the glass fibre bods, unfortunately do not list a front panel.

I had seen that one but it is for a later car. Mine has the "non vented" valance and its only the lower section i am really in need of.
Many thanks for taking the time to look and reply though.

You're welcome; after all, we 140 owners must stick together!

I sometimes feel that, with all the attention paid to the Amazon, the 140 series is something of a poor relation within Volvo circles.

Never mind, good hunting, and do let us know how you fare.

I must admit i think your right! It must be 2 years since i have seen a 140 series on the road but there have been a fair few amazons about, especially at all the local classic car meets.
When i look on the suppliers websites for spares it does seem that we are the poor relations, hence all my questions about where the best places to go for parts are.
On that subject, ATE caliper kits for the 140 4 pot calipers. Any ideas on who to go to for those before i spend hours trying to find a suitable supplier!! (PM will be fine if required!)
I will get the hang of it soon, honest!
