They probably did beige cloth in other markets but I don't think they did it in UK spec 940's, the 740 did, really it should have tan leather to match the outside, it's a really nice looking colour.

As a 2.3l manual with a clean history and if it’s as described, rust free , everything works, I’d chance £4500 on it. I’m biased. Just seen it’s auto , so less .

One for auction near Dundee the weekend after next. Shame it’s an auto.

From my experience I'd say it is not as good a deal as the Barge (which I bought 18 months or so ago for just over 2 grand) in that the Barge qualified as an historic vehicle almost as soon as I bought it, was a manual with some nice extras, similar mileage and ancient service history, plus it only had two previous owners (if I recall correctly). The Barge probably was a bit of a bargain, but even then if I extrapolate what this one is worth I find it hard to come up with more than about 3 grand. The guide price is £3,750 to £4,500 - I suppose it might make that on the day if someone (or probably at least 2 parties) get a bit carried away. This isn't a motor car I'd pursue (because of the non-historic vehicle issue). These are just the thoughts of a grumpy man with a beard and a dog called Bob. Addendum: if I recall correctly I sold the Barge for 6 grand last summer, by with time I'd tidied it up a great deal and more importantly it had qualified as an historic vehicle (making it tax and ULEZ exempt, which is exactly why the new owner wanted it). That corresponds well with my theory that historic registered 240s are worth between 50 and 100% more than newer but otherwise similar versions. That confirms thoughts about this one: £3,000 or a little more.

Even then, while it's nice i thought £2500-3500 was nearer the mark, concurring with your assessment of it. Will be interesting to see what it makes on the auction it's now listed on, if i remember to check!

Alan Addendum: this is nothing to do with this thread or even Volvo motor cars. Clarkie had a nice day out on our motorcycles yesterday, delivering the Goldwing (which is too big for my bike trailer) to ‘Vegas, then bringing my Triumph back to Corby Del Sol (so it may be trailered back to ‘Vegas some time in the next month before the house sale completes). The Goldwing is safely installed in its new home, also fish and chips by the sea always taste much better than anywhere else. Another addendum: again, nothing to do with Volvos. It is something so satisfying to achieve a good aim at small cost. I had a little sub-project at the ‘Vegas house to automate the existing canopy garage door. A while ago I’d acquired an ex-demonstration Chamberlain electric door opener kit for only £73, and a second-hand Chamberlain arm for just £45. I had a spare day last week, and so fitted the ensemble to what will be my motorcycle garage at ‘Vegas. How cool is this: https://youtube.com/shorts/s0EgpOOw_pk?feature=shared … all for £130 including some electrical bits and pieces. The result has made me happy beyond its utility .
