I just found this thread.
I own JDK261N, first registered 24 03 1975. As far as I can tell it’s either the oldest or second oldest road going car in the UK, and the third oldest that’s still registered with DVLA... I bought it 3 months ago from an old chap who’d let it sit on his driveway for 10 years. Underneath all of the Moss it was really quite solid (I repaired the wheel wells and one window sill, other than that no welding has been done). It’s now my daily driver, and the the process of a suspension refresh. It’s also now on Virgos which suit the car much better. John |

Concerning post by Classic Swede
'1975 model year was still the 164 alongside the the 240. The 260 came in for the 1976 model year (Aug 75). You can ask Volvo for build date info' 1975 MY 164 was for North America and Japan only as PRV V6 didn't meet emission requirements and was a 200 with a 164 front end, in other territories 264 launched at the the same time as 244 |

So now we have:
No comment on the price by the way. Regards Lucien |
