Doors and bonnet for a 145

sigane · Apr 17th, 2012, 11:24

For sale I have a pair of white offside doors (front and rear) in good nick with blue doorcards, a yellow bonnet a bit rusty but easily saveable and what I believe is an Amazon door - please let me know if you recognise it from the picture!!
I'm new to the scene so I will consider all offers as I'm not sure of the worth.

Cheers,

Si

The white doors are not rusty just dusty!! Should have cleaned them first!!

Blue door not Amazon.

Hello
I have just recognised your Volvo 145.
I went to look at in north London,some years ago,but it had a problem with the injection system,so I did not buy it in the end.
How is the car now?
Regards
Sean.

Cheers Derek. Any thoughts what it could be? I was assured it was Volvo. Failing that I'll put it in my weighing-in pile as its very heavy

Hi Sean,

Cheers for that. I have just put a battery on it and it wont start but all the electrics work fine. I'm hoping it's just dirt in the fuel line so I'm about to go out and fit a new inline fuel filter. The last owner assures me it was driving fine around his yard 6 months ago and was in constant the year before that when the MOT ran out. He is the editor of Practical Classics as well so i'm inclined to believe him!!!
I'm only the fourth owner and its only done 81000 miles so its definitely worth saving.

I've put a link about the door on the Popular Classics forum. Someone might recognise it, they usually do when a query like this is posted.

Hi Sean,
Meant to say that the car is converted to twin carbs so I guess that snag with the fuel injection system must have been pretty bad!
