I just a message to ask if you had found one anyway. I am thinking of selling mine if you are interested? 2.0GL 1988. First owner from 88 to 92 then that owner (my father) until he gave it to me in 2021, so mostly a one family car.

I haven't advertised it yet anyway, but we think we've decided on the new car now, so it's possibly time. Will be a sad sale for me though, having known the car for so long - it was our family car for my childhood.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks, but I'm afraid that it wasn't me who was looking.

As it happens, we did own several 2 series cars back in the day, and I must confess to still having a 'soft spot' for them. My favourite 240, probably even my all-time favourite Volvo, was our '83 245 GLT (MOD) Diplomatic car.

A sign of the times perhaps, but in those days they changed hands for hundreds, rather than thousands, of pounds!

Regards, John.

Sorry, that was actually two replies in one - the first part to you, the second to the other guy asking for any for sale! I always liked it, something about them. The lovely whine from the diff just great - like people say certain songs release memories etc, the diff whine does that for me

dark met blue Volvo 240 GL estate that prior to me was one family

owned from new and has full and comprehensive service history.

I searched for some time and traveled far and wide prior to purchase

and this was best i could find previous owner said he couldnt remember

anyone ever sitting in back seat

it has zero rust and wheel arches are perfect.

if you have any interest please email me

stuart.english62@gmail.com

Many thanks SE
