Breaking 1967 144 - 1973 144 and 1970 145 - Page 4

burrotaxi · Feb 18th, 2010, 23:08

My 1971 144 has a small tear in the backrest of the drivers seat. It is grey vinyl. Your 145 looks as if it might have grey upholstery? I have given up thinking I'll ever get a perfect seat back but would you have a sample of good vinyl that could be salvaged for a repair?

Many thanks

Sadly that estate has now gone. I do have other 140's about but not with the grey interior

Hi Burrotaxi,
I don't know if you have seen this, but this seems to be grey interior seats available on Ebay at the moment Although there does seem to be only 7 hours available on this. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-140-142-...#ht_500wt_1182

Thanks for that I did see them but my seats are much darker and more of a bluey grey or I would have had a go with these. Anyways I'm sure something will turn up eventually!

I'm after a 1971 style rear bumper. The rubber needs to be in good condition.
