1970 1 Owner Volvo 145DL Estate - Safari Yellow
1970 (J reg) Volvo 145 B20 DL Estate
1 owner from new / garaged from new. Safari Yellow Tan interior "Very original" - even though through the years it has had had repairs within 54+ years. 2. 0 Manual MOT / Tax exempt (last MOT'd in November 2016 - 2 miles since). Rare early model with split rear side windows (could possibly be a 1969 model registered 1970?) - Original bill of sale - £1732. 30 - First taxation slip on 30/ 07/ 1970 - All original Volvo owner wallet / books / owners manuals and both Volvo keys. - Receipt for its 1st inspection (24/ 09/ 1970) - A4 folder of service history, interesting history documents and old MOT's etc. Very solid. Floors excellent chassis rails great inner wings very good Panels nice (etc etc etc). Does need some work Needs [what I can only describe as] the "vertical spare wheel wells", left and right. Rear left jacking point. Some paintwork. Mechanically good. Needs tinkering to run as fuel in lines has evaporated due to not being used. Could easily suck it through but don't like the taste of petrol! May get a chance, work / family life allowing. (Does start and runs on easy start but the clear inline fuel filter is showing as bone dry). Looks exactly like the photos show. Could be used "as is" once running. Price based on probate Valuation (£8k) but happy to have a polite conversation to those genuinely interested. https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C168...ource=sendgrid |

*** UPDATE: Starts on the key, runs beautifully and drives well. It runs really well too caveated by the fact that the brakes are binding a little at the rear I think (only took a mouthful of fuel to suck the fresh fuel through!). ***

No, to me that's perfection. It's not an over restored show pony, it's a car you could use every day. It's taken a lifetime to looking that, and it will only continue doing so if it is bought by a sympathetic new owner. Wish it could be me!
