1973 Volvo 145 - Cambridgeshire / PE29
Thought I should put up a 'proper' thread rather than just mentioning it in another.
Alas, I'm reselling PBL 866L after a brief ownership as my circumstances have changed - it's now sitting outsite in need of a better home. £7450 or offers invited. Images here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/146655322@N03/V2X635 Some details: - Very solid. Underseal in great shape. - A few small very light patches of surface rust, some dents in chrome trim pieces. - Interior great and I think entirely original. - Boot carpet is a bit worn, a couple of small tears in front seats. - Restored, original, period roof-rack made in Sweden. - Full inspection by local classic-friendly mechanic in August. - Bushes good all round (mostly poly). N/S steering idler bush done recently. - 4x Vredestein Sprint Classic 165x15 radial tyres. - New suspension springs all round. - New front dampers. - New thermostat. - Propshaft centre bearing assembly replaced. - Complete new exhaust. - Has gearbox conversion with overdrive unit. - Oil cooler and Kenlowe auxillary fan fit. - New alternator conversion Sept 2019 (to integrated regulator). - High spec LED headlight conversion (warm white from classiccarleds.co.uk). - LED side and brake lights. - New brake pads all round. - The normal new & spare sets of plugs, leads, points, condenser, belt, etc. - Full size spare wheel with good radial tyre. - Synchos all behave well. - Towbar fit, I haven't tried the electronics recently though. - Slight overdrive whine at 60mph, fades away above 65mph. - Engine mounts a little soft - poly replacements ready to fit but too hard for my tastes. Parts with it. - Original jack and tools. - Alternative alloy grilles, older and newer type. Worth ~£300 alone. - Spare carb - cleaned & vapour blasted with rebuild kit. Matching Stromberg 175 CD2SE. - Period pop-up rear-facing seats with seat belts that go in the boot. Converts to 7 seats, but a novelty rather than something you want to use. - Dog/luggage grille, perfect fit but unknown heritage. - Complete spare dashboard - older type. - Spare windscreen washer pump from donor.
