Nice early 144S for sale

Not mine, I just saw this whilst browsing.

Very good value at £1500 if it's as described... 60k miles, original paint, no rust.

In Portugal, but RHD and they'll deliver to London for £900. But more fun to fly out there and drive it back - that's what I would do!

Yes, looks good. Maybe Arturus lives nearby and could go and do a recky??

When did Volvo start fitting headrests? and was leather ever an option on these 1st batch 140s??

Cheers

I think headrests arrived in 1969. I don't know if they were optional before that.

I don't know about leather, but I'm pretty sure this will have vinyl seats. (The later 142/4 GL had leather of course, as per the 164 interior).

ah thanks for that - I actually quite like the vinyl but the turquoisey/blue colour gets wrecked by the sun.....

cheers
