VOLVO 240 GL MANUAL ESTATE.
SUPPLIED NEW ON 28/ 4/ 89 BY SPEEDS OF ALFRETON TO SIR PETER HILTON KCVO MC DL JP. A WAR HERO WHO BECAME LORD LIEUTENANT OF DERBYSHIRE, BOTH HE AND HIS WIFE WERE HIGHLY DECORATED. PLEASE LOOK HIM UP.
UPON HIS DEATH IN 1995 THE CAR REMAINED IN HIS COACH HOUSE AT ALTON MANOR UNTIL FEB 2011 BEFORE THE MANOR WAS SOLD. I PURCHASED IT IN SEPTEMBER 2011 AND ADDED IT TO MY COLLECTION MAINLY DUE TO THE HISTORY OF ITS PREVIOUS OWNER A TRUE NATIONAL HERO.
WAS SERVICED AND MAINTAINED EVERY 6 MONTHS BY SPEEDS TILL APRIL 1993.
AFTER A THOROUGH WASH AND VALET THE CAR WAS FOUND TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION JUST REQUIRING SYMPATHETIC RECOMMISSIONING. NEW BRAKE SYSTEM ALL ROUND CAM BELT (GENUINE VOLVO) NEW VIRGO WHEELS AND TYRES AND SOME OTHER SMALL BITS AND BOBS.
BODILY THE CHASSIS SILLS AND ARCHES HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED HOWEVER I DID HAVE TO REPAIR THE COMMON 240 ESTATE BOOT FLOOR RAIL BEHIND THE BUMPER. THIS WAS DONE PROFESSIONALLY WITH PICTURES AVAILABLE TO PROVE.
COMES WITH ELECTRIC FRONT WINDOWS OPTIONAL DOG GUARD EXTREMELY RARE LOAD COVER AND BOOT LINER BOTH GENUINE VOLVO.
WILL HAPPILY MOT IT.
SOME VERY SMALL COSMETIC IMPERFECTIONS WORST BEING THE PASSENGER SIDE ARCH PLEASE SEE PIC.
THIS CAR WANTS FOR NOTHING AND IS READY TO BE USED AND ENJOYED AND CAN BE DRIVEN AWAY.
I HAVE A 4 POST RAMP ON SITE AND WELCOME ANY INSPECTION. ONLY FOR SALE AS IM DOWNSIZING MY COLLECTION
