new member volvo 145

Hi, I'm new to the forum having just joined today. I own a 1971 Volvo 145 Delux manual with overdrive in dark green (94) with a Tan interior. I've owned the car for around 3 weeks and am very pleased with it.

I live in Crystal Palace SE London and would love to get to know anyone who has a similar car locally to me etc.

Thanks Gary

Hi Cam, thanks for the welcome.....im pleased someones out there, did see that apparently theres only 27 or so 145s running around so i guess a 5% feedback is good

Looks great! What rims are they?

Ooh! You bought my friend Nigel's car you lucky so-and-so. I came extremely close to buying that myself, but he messaged me to say it had gone elsewhere!

Hi, yes I'm afraid I'm the culprit who bought it...having owned various classics over the years my last being a 1976 2.7 Porsche 911...I decided to take a slower route so to say...very pleased with the car, it drives nicely and is very practical too.

Oh that is so good!

By the way, I think the seat bases are the same as an Amazon. If that's the case, I have a beige seat base for you.

In fact, I have a complete 140 that I'm breaking, so if there's anything else, then please let me know
