Volvo 144 DL Auto FOR SALE
Hi
Okay - I hold my breath and with a metaphoric tear in my eye - here goes. Volvo 144 DL Automatic (EDIT - car will not select reverse therefore drive and hope for no reversing to get you to your destination) California White Nearly 110,000 miles B20A single Stromberg Carb Stainless Exhaust fitted from end of downpipe to rear Spare wheel wells have been cut out, flat sheet welded in New outer sills both sides, fitted and finished up to primer New rear wheel arches, fitted and finished up to primer Floors are very solid and finished with Bilt Hamber Base of A posts have been plated and are fitted up to underseal Screen surround needs welding in the usual spots (where clips sit) but rust does not extend more than 5/10mm down towards bulkhead Rear panel by OSR light needs welding / filling Front panel is shot Front wings are terrible Near side doors are terrible Off side front door, solid Californian replacement fitted – including new window glass channel ‘axe’ Off side rear door, solid but need fettling Trailing edge of boot-lid is poor Bonnet is very solid with only genuine surface rust All window rubbers are good, sealing rubbers are adequate Front brake calipers, discs and pads have 1200 miles on them New unleaded head (from Brookhouse), valves and seals have approx. 8000 miles on it New 123ignition and flame thrower coil professionally fitted approx. 8000 ago Single Stromberg carb works as it should and had a new diaphragm fitted approx. 10,000 miles ago Front upper and lower wishbone bushes replaced with polybushes approx. 8000 ago Rear shocker bushes fitted 100 miles ago All propshaft UV joints replaced approx. 20,000 miles ago Front wheel alignment carried out successfully approx. 5000 miles ago – very even front wheel wear shows this Shabby maroon (wine) seats, door-cards and trim from a 164 (part leather) replaced the original sun burnt blue vinyl Headlining very good, no sagging Rear static 3 point seat belts fitted Towbar fitted with 7 pin electrics all in working order (no fridge connection) Whole car needs prepping and re-spraying The car has a proper genuine 12 months MOT test until 7th December 2018 (not just bunged on there to help me sell it) In summary, this car is very ratty and would only suit someone looking to restore, roll & restore or use as a donor – personally I’d use the head, coil, 123ignition, bonnet, nearside doors and maybe the seats if well worn was your thing. Included in sale:- Rear bootlid that needs fettling but no welding – it’s electric blue Nearside front and rear doors that needs fettling but no welding – they’re blue Both front wings – light fettling, very nice wings actually – one’s primer, one’s California white Front grille – earliest one piece alloy Various small spares, trim, rubbers etc. Car is located near Bristol Airport It really is too good to scrap and I’d rather not break it. Make me a sensible offer??? PM me and also very happy to chat on the phone
