Volvo 240 GL

Welcome to Genuine Cars and Classics and our listing for this Volvo 245 GL Estate Car finished in silver with blue interior. This car has the Coffin Nose featuring an extended bonnet line and vertical radiator grille, very rare. Comprehensive Service & MOT History with Clear HPI Report. HISTORY: First registered in January 1983, this cars second owner purchased it about a year later and owned it up until his passing late in 2023, thats just 2 owners in 41 years with the second owning the car for 39 of those. This car is a carburetted version, 2127cc, fitted with manual transmission and overdrive. It has been maintained by the same Somerset family garage for over 20 years and the MOT history confirms the very low mileage of 96691. It qualifies as an Historic Vehicle thus being exempt from MOT, Road Tax and ULEZ/Clean Air Zone charges. I had a test MOT carried out, whilst waiting to hear from DVLA about the V5, and, remarkably, the car only failed because the wipers are not working, and the tailgate catch requires rectification (not secure). This means that the car could be used as a rolling restoration project once those items are fixed. I now have a letter from DVLA via the Executor of the former owners estate, confirming that a V5 can be obtained by completion of form V62 by the new owner. Alternatively, it would be possible for us to restore and refinish the car to the new owners specification, at additional cost. MAIN FEATURES & EQUIPMENT: 2127cc 4 cylinder Red Block engine; Manual 4 speed gearbox fitted with overdrive; Structurally very good; Central locking; Heated Front Seat Facility; Extra 2 child seats in rear. EXTERIOR CONDITION:, Requires extensive cosmetic repairs and paint – see images. It would be necessary to personally inspect the car before purchase or have an independent inspection carried out. INTERIOR CONDITION:, In decent condition considering the cars age, good headlining, interior heater fan operating normally. I also have 2 sets of suitable trim available, one blue velour, the other black leather, if required. VIEWING:, By appointment, please telephone or email me to make arrangements. Postcode TA21 8LT. I spent many years managing Volvo dealerships and retailing Volvo cars during the 1980s and 90s when this model was still being sold new! I have also rallied a Volvo 360GLT and 244GL, completing the Lombard RAC Rally twice. I also currently rally a Classic Volvo 240GL in Historic Events. I also have over 40 years of experience in the motor trade and I only stock genuine cars with service history. I can be contacted through email, or by text or telephone to 07792883103 or telephone 01823 244044. If you need any more information or have a question, I look forward to hearing from you.
