Shiney MINT 240GLT Manual

[Mike1967]

I am very very regretfully having to sell my pride and joy due to personal reasons . The GLT has had no expence spared on keeping it this good ! The paintwork is rust and dent free with a beautifull glossy shine to the red paintwork , not faded like some red cars . This GLT was seen by many last year in various classic car shows .

This 1990 example of a Volvo 240 GLT was bulit at the Volvo manufacturing plant in Gothenburg , Sweden .The GLT or ( Grand Lux Touring ) was a high specification variant of the 240 range with stiffer suspension and a larger capacity engine . Internal specification was also higher with front/rear electric windows , steel sunroof and full leather seating .

GLT saloons and estates are some of the most sought after variants of the 240 range .

The car was registered new in the UK in 1990. All body panels/fittings and major mechanical components are original .The only modification being full Jetex exhaust system

The car comes with a very big file which informs of the service history and extras that have been purchased and added . For example the car has had new headlights due to the old ones fading , new grill and badges allround also the car is now sitting on IPD lowering springs which I think makes the car look that little bit better , plus gives a lot less roll when taking bends . The GLT also has a custom fitted Jetex exhaust system fitted , this does not make the car excessivly noisey rather than it gives more of a lower sound over a standard exhaust system . It does not sound like a boy racer chav car !

Also a rare set of extra gauges which show the outside temp ( a clever red light illuminates when the temperature hits freezing ) , oil temp , and battery amps . All illuminated at night .

The full black leather interior can only be described as immaculate , no cracking to the leather or splits or buttons missing or discoloured and smells gorgeous . Electric windows all round and a manual sunroof , all of which work perfect .

I have added a set of front Hella driving lamps which are controlled by a seperate switch on the dash . Some may not like them , in which case they are easilly removed by the basic diy'er .

As mentoned the car is rust and dent free , the tyres are all very legal with plenty of tread left on them , alloy wheels and chrome wheel nuts look just superb wouldnt you agree ! I urge anyone to find another one as good as this for sale .

I am also including a Moltex outdoor car cover ( not a cheap street bought one ) purchased last year for £115 from Hamilton Classics , numerous manuals , books , door pockets uncracked , spare centre consol , spare door mirrors and general odds and ends for this model .

So whats wrong if anything I hear some people asking . Well there is a slight rumble from the nearside front bottom ball joint when driving over rough bumpy roads , nothing else as far as im aware . Engine is smooth and rattle free , uses no oil or water . The car is getting on for 18 years old , but really belies its age and often gets admiring looks .
