Description
Just arrived with us here at RFH Classics is this beautifully restored 1972 Volvo 164 Auto in Metallic Gold with Tan Brown Leather interior that is a standout example of a rare classic. First supplied by Holden Motors of Norwich, this 3. 0-litre automatic model has been meticulously cared for by only five owners, including the last who inherited it from his grandfather. Under his ownership, the car has undergone a extensive restoration, with detailed photographic documentation of the work.
Introduced by Volvo as a more prestigious version of the 144, the 164 is a rare car to be found nowadays and featured a 3. 0-litre straight-six engine, Volvo’s first in over 20 years, paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission. The car’s production ran from 1968 to 1975, when it was succeeded by the 240 series. This particular 164 is in stunning condition, with paintwork finished to an almost glass-like standard, brightwork that gleams, and a flawless interior featuring supportive leather seats and a spacious, functional cabin.
The engine bay, showcasing the iconic Red Block engine, is as meticulously detailed as the exterior. A large boot with original boot mat completes the classic saloon design. The car's history is well-documented, including the original service book containing with 11 service stamps up to 60, 000 miles carried out by the supplying dealer and subsequent records since, extensive old MOTs, and a record of past ownership, including notable third owner Sir Greg Knight, who used it in his role as chair of the All Party Historic Vehicle Group. This 164 is a rare and remarkable piece of automotive history, perfectly blending style, comfort, and heritage.
