1977 VOLVO 244 DL JUBILEE 1 OF 50 PRODUCED A Historic Vehicle - MOT & Tax Exempt 100 % Original & Unaltered 68000 Miles AUE 713S - Registered 01.08.1977 Believed to only be 5 of these models still on the road, incredible. A Volvo for the enthusiast, ideal to add to a collection or to just be used for careful Sunday drives, this model has some genuine appreciation ahead of it in coming years. Volvo celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1977, this meant they had to show it off in various ways, nigh on impossible to find now this example remains in stock condition, never been altered with all badges and genuine coachlines in place. Teutonic build quality throughout, unbreakable mechanicals. MOT and tax exempt though currently MOTd for peace of mind. There’s something reassuring about the understated appeal of cars like this, the 244 exudes restrained charm and has a fuss-free way of covering long journeys while cocooning occupants in a beguilingly luxurious cabin. The Volvo excels ergonomically. The cabin feels light, airy and uncluttered, with plenty of room for front and rear passengers. The seating and driving position both feel instantly comfortable and, this being a Volvo, stalks and switches engage with a reassuringly secure ‘thunk’ or ‘click’. The characteristics of the engine and the sumptuousness of the interior suggest it is a strong choice for long motorway tours. Original bookpack with owners manul intact. Volvo 8 track stereo working with cassettes present. Starts on the button, runs like a sewing machine. Manual roof windows and mirrors, very little to go wrong. The roof is weathered as is the bonnet as its original and never been painted. There is no rust on the body. The lower waist of the car is extremely well preserved. 6 owners in total. You would not attempt to alter this Volvo in any way, I could have painted these areas but its not for meddling with, there is no substitute for originality. The interior is remarkable, so well preserved. The body is 100% solid, top below and underside. Very much has to be seen and driven to be fully appreciated. These models are experiencing a serious revival in prices currently with many of them being exported beyond our shores into Europe, it would be fitting if the new owner was to keep this car on our island. This car pulls more glances and incites more conversation than a new 911, believe me. I pulled into a fuel station today and spent an hour talking randomly to people who approached me, the stuff legends were built on. The price of the car is unknown, its not something I can put a value on, and I pride myself on being able to value anything given the weird and wonderful is my job. Where do I start? After consideration a no reserve auction is the only way to determine this cars true value, there is another one in Europe listed for 19000 Euro. Study all the many images. If I can think on any more information to add I will post it, if you have questions please email or call me for a chat. Stephen 01360 - 850198. £POA |
