Default Any interest in 1982 Volvo 244 GLT

Hello (new to forum),
I will keep it simple to start I live in France and when moved took with us our 1982 Volvo 244 GLT 2,3 litre automatic (RHD). Now done only 110k miles and been in dry garage for 20 years. Still runs but needs (I think) relatively minor overhaul to restore to pristine conditions. About to move to Sweden and decision time...sell, scrap (horror don't want too)..looking for genuine loving home...she is (in our eyes, beautiful)
Is there any interest out there or advice you can offer me...Thank you in advance...photos available and of course more history etc
Tim

If it is practicable, I agree with 'mentepazza'. If there is anywhere that I would care to drive a RHD car outside the UK, it would be Scandinavia. The less pressured driving style in Sweden (outside Stockholm and Gothenburg) makes it much more pleasant to live with than in mainland Europe.

Regards, John.

Hello there, I'm also down in Lyon (currently my UK C30 is here with me), I don't see many old Volvos here and they're often beaten to death by French bump parking. Sounds like your one, has avoided the city life by living in a garage... Mine too, I also use TCL if heading into the city to avoid parking charges and such bumping buffoonery.

I would advise putting an ad on carandclassic.co.uk I think it's free and it def has good coverage.

GLWTS!
