240 General: Wanted 245

[javed]

Hi

I am after a 245 DL /GL in Manual 1979/80 model estate, with the
square headlamp model.

I am not familiar with the relevant engine models etc. i am new to
the forum, always been a Datsun/Toyota enthusiast, but i saw my
fathers old car in a photo's and it bought back fond memories.

Unfortunately he has passed away and would love to have one for
sentimental reasons.

His reg on the car was CBA 954 T and was a burnt orange / rustic colour
(not sure what its called!) it was the one i learnt to drive in!

interior and mechanicals must be good, bodywork i can handle.

if you PM me and we can exchange details if the car you have is suitable.

I am based in Blackburn Lancashire so will view if within this area otherwise its a photo decision!

Many Thanks

Javed

Welcome to volvo world.
Sadly your fathers car doesn't seem to be around anymore unless it's sat in a garage forgotten or waiting to be found.
The diectgov tax checker site states.
CBA 954T DATE of first registration 01-03-1979.
DATE of Liability 01-02-1994.
Engine size 2127cc.
Colour RED.
STATUS unlicensed.

I hope you find one similare but they don't come along to often of that era.More likely to get a younger model as they aren't fetching good money just now.The older ones seem to be making a comeback at the recent rallies.

Regards Brian.

It's a GLE but it's the nearest to the sort of year you want.
