1982 Volvo 240dl - Award Winner! on 2040-cars
Keswick, Ontario, Canada
|
I am the original owner of the car, purchased new from a Volvo dealership in Toronto. All maintenance
has been done by myself and/or the same Volvo master mechanic for the last
32yrs.
The car is an award winner both here in Canada and South of the Border and recently was the highest scoring car in its category at a recent ACCCC Concourse D'Elegence, scoring 97.3%. This is a show car that is winter stored and driven for pleasure only and showcased at a number of car shows every year. It has also been featured in Volvo magazines, the Toronto Star newspaper and Toronto Sun newspaper. The car is in sound mechanical condition without any issues whatsoever. All mechanics, brakes, engine, transmission, clutch, drive train, electrics are performing like new and repairs were made as needed over the years. All fluids have been changed regularly and the car can simply be driven for many years more without any immediate or additional repairs required. 70% of the paint, entire interior, engine and electrics are all original, hence the award winning status it receives every year. This is a car that has not been modified, altered or otherwise. It is as it was when coming off the assembly line for the first time. Unlike the images provided, the car now has "Historical Plates" and enjoys the many discounts for licensing, a historical car is entitled to. The car sale includes a vast number of NOS (new old stock) parts, too many to mention and some of which are very rare. Included in the sale are all the Volvo Shop Manuals, documentation, original sales receipt, awards, and much more. The Volvo is suitable for someone who wants to continue the legacy of this car, enjoy its award winning status and hopefully love and care for it as I have done for the last 32yrs.

Volvo working on ultra-lux four-seat XC90 for China?
Tue, 09 Sep 2014In China, it's all about being driven. That's why we've seen so many automakers stretch their most popular models to appeal to buyers in the Chinese market. Volvo is certainly no stranger to this, and according to Autocar, the company is already working on a super-lux, four-seat version of its recently launched XC90 crossover.
Volvo won't stretch the XC90 and just increase second-row legroom, however. Instead, the company will reportedly remove both the standard XC90's second and third row benches, and install a duplicate set of front seats in the rear compartment, featuring the same electric adjustment features, including massage. These more luxurious thrones will be placed further back in the vehicle, allowing for "exceptional" legroom, Autocar reports, without needing to stretch the wheelbase.
Mum's the word on when we can expect to see the high-zoot Volvo arrive, though the magazine estimates that it surface later this year.
Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.
Volvo previews Concept XC Coupe ahead of Detroit reveal [w/video]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Volvo is in the midst of a three-stage design revolution. The first stage came with the reveal of the Concept Coupe in Frankfurt just this past September. What you see here is our first glimpse at the second stage.
The Volvo Concept XC Coupe previewed here will be unveiled in full on January 8 in advance of the Detroit Auto Show. While the previous concept was all sleek, the Concept XC Coupe takes a more rugged, utilitarian approach with a hatchback roofline, higher ride height, knobbier tires, lower body cladding and a rooftop box. From what we can see, it looks like a cross between the previous concept and an XC70 wagon that could preview a soft-road replacement for the C30 hatchback.
That's about all there is to say at this point, but you can scope out the press release along with the video below and the trio of teaser images in the gallery above.
