Wanted Volvo 240 Diesel

[Stuffz]

Hi,
I'm searching for a Volvo 240 Diesel (D6/D24) RHD.
It has to be at least 30 years old and in good technical condition and original. (no sport suspension etc)

It must be able to drive on it's own to germany.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm german and lack of speaking english some years.


Cheers

Sorry wrong words...
I meant that I would drive it on my own to germany without using a trailer.
Hope that sounds better.
Nice car, but too far away. Transportfees an taxes would be more than the price of the car.

Thanks anyway

You may be unlucky. So far as I am aware 200 series diesels were only ever manufactured in LHD. To make a RHD version would have required a major redesign which was considered uneconomic at the time when the demand for diesel cars was miniscule in countries that drive on the left.

I agree. I have never seen or heard of a RHD 240 diesel

I have! Although it isnt an original volvo diesel. Its for sale at one of my Dads friends garages - i think its an 89 glt estate in white and it has had a professionally done diesel engine fitted, though i cant remember which one.

[Stuffz]

Wow, I didn't know that.
Wheren't 2 series diesels generally on market in UK?
Or are they sold as LHD there?
RHD was just to make sure my wife don't drive the car ;-)
Anyway I've to correct my search:
I'm looking now for an at least 30 year old 2 series diesel in good technical condition
