I am a huge,huge fan of the 240, I have a massive soft spot for the car in estate format. What you have done to this car has improved it and given it a chance to live again!
Definitely use it it'll be a great adventure. Volvo don't make cars that reliable nowadays. Built like a tank, just hearing those doors close sounds like a bank vault no rattles.👍
Well we took it for a half decent drive yesterday and it drives really well, we are both up for giving it a try , When Lisa valeted it she did say she couldn't believe the quality of the carpets and interior materials ,watch this space 😀
I love these - and nearly bought one years ago - but just saw nothing but old crap with the usual rust-bucket issues. Bullet-proof engines, and very analogue interiors with hard-wearing seats. If I found one that wasn't a dog in the usual places - what does the lift kit cost?
Well they are getting on a bit now , I have a pale blue one that's in pretty good fettle , the lift kit isn't horrendously expensive a few hundred pounds ,track extenders wheel spacers, tyres etc puts parts at about 1300 but the application might be a few quid ,obviously I did the work and fabrication myself, but look at it 😂 worth every penny and im using most days 😀
Great idea! The lifted 240 looks good and practical.
Thank you ,a new lease of life for the old girl ,we are going to press it into use straight away to iron out any problems from standing in a barn 🙂
Norway... 💯. Looks cracking
Haha cheers Djk ,best for motorcycles in the South ,looks like I'm going on an adventure 😀

Its a multie car and you still can get parts all over the world. so yes get out there with it.
Brilliant thank you ,to the the top of Norway is about 2500 miles from here ,nothing for a trusty old Volvo 😀
@@therealtoyshop true... just give it what it needs and not so expensive.. even the gasoline is more expensiv in long term use.
Its ruined. Why would anyone raise a volvo.
For fun 😁
