There's something about a 240 estate that never fails to bring a smile on! Think back, the shopkeeper working long hours, the local Pharmacy owner, the farmers wife towing the horse trailer. Hardworking, dependable, reliable and honest are all words that come to mind. This example, supplied by Rudds of Southampton to the first keeper of 15 years has lived an extremely cosseted life. The engine bay, underside and door shuts are simply exemplary, as are the spot welds around the circumference of the rear wheel arches. One breath of the interior aroma just spins ones mind back to a Volvo showroom in 1989. The hard floorwell protectors have been in place since new, devouring the carpets of any wear and tear whatsoever. Not that there would be much in 24k miles. The history file and provenance is superb, with 29 services stamped into the original service book, predominantly all Volvo main dealer. MOT certificates run back to 2003. The full original hand book pack is present, along with 3 sets of Volvo keys. The spare wheel remains in its recess, unused since new. It was not unusual to see these cars with 200,000 miles covered in the first few years of their life. Whether you have a driving trip to Cape Town planned, or simply want something special for your collection, this car fits into both camps. This example has to be one of the most genuine low mileage examples left in existence. May P/X (Registration Excluded) , £11,950
