On October 13 2012 I visited the Volvo Klassieker Beurs (aka: Volvobeurs), which is the yearly Volvo classic car event in The Netherlands, organised by the Dutch Volvo Club (in Dutch: Volvo Klassieker Vereniging). The event takes 2 days (October 13 and October 14) and was this year in Nieuwegein at the Home Boxx expo, where it was held for the first time. Unfortunately the parking lot wasn't a private parking, resulting in a mix of several cars: each year the parking lot is sorted by the type of Volvo classic car which results in only the same cars standing next to eachother.
This video shows a very typical early 80s car: a brown Volvo 245 DL estate. The Volvo 245 is the stationcar version of the 240. The last number indicates the number of doors: a 242 is a Volvo 200-series with 4 cylinder engine and 2 doors, the 244 is a 4-cylinder with 4-door and the 245 has 5 doors. Note: the diesels (with Volkswagen D24 engine) aren't called 264 and 265 since the 244 and 245 diesel are less luxuous than the 260-series.
Please visit http://www.volvotips.com for all info about the Volvo PV, Amazon, P1800, 240 and 260-series, 740, 760 and 780, 900-series and 850.
Farmer drifting and burning with turbo - Drifting in a Tractor
It will burn rubber, do donuts, drift on the field and at the same time, plow your farm; meet the Volvo Terror, an old tractor from the middle of the last century that has been outfitted with a Volvo-sourced B21ET turbocharged petrol engine.The B21ET belongs to Volvo's Redblock gasoline engine series and was used on cars like the 240. In factory form, the 2.1-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine developed 155hp (157PS). Whether the engine found in the tractor is completely stock or has been upgraded, remains unknown.

EXTERIOR
The exterior of this 240 is fantastic. Finished in Light Blue Metallic, (Code 404), a colour specified as an optional extra. The appearance of the car is a testament to the care and attention bestowed upon it by the only owner from new. The paintwork has a bright shine and is generally in exceptional condition. There are a few very minor scratches to the paintwork and a light crease in the front nearside door at low level. These minor imperfections do not, however, detract from the overall impressive appearance of the car. All chrome and rubber trim is in excellent order as is the glass, lights and badges. A minor crack in the passenger mirror can just be seen. Original Volvo Dealer number plates are still fitted. A beautiful car that defined Volvo's reputation for build quality, a real time warp example.
INTERIOR
The interior of this 240 is outstanding. Finished in Blue Trico Plush trim, the seats and door trim are in excellent order and show no sign of wear, truly in as new condition. The front seats are heated, a standard feature on the 240 and are in perfect working order. The carpets have been preserved by Dealer fit Volvo rubber tray mats in the front and rear, thus remain in excellent order, free from wear. The head lining is tight and free from marks and discolouration. Interior and glovebox courtesy lighting is in working order. All switchgear is intact and operates the interior controls as they should. The optional radio is original Volvo equipment and provides clear sound through the standard dealer fit speakers. A full tool kit and supplying Dealer key fobs still present. An impeccable and functional 240 interior promoting a pleasant and safe driving environment.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The innovative and new for 1987 2.3 litre naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine performs faultlessly, providing effortless and whisper quiet performance. This cleaner engine features Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Pulsair emission control allowing unleaded fuel to be used. The car starts immediately on the manual choke and pulls well through the smooth and tight 5 speed gearbox. The incredible service history of this car is evident in its performance, having been serviced every 6 months from new by Volvo main dealers regardless of mileage. Amazing.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 14" steel wheels have genuine Volvo trim covers and are shod in Michelin MX 175 R14 rear tyres and new fronts ready to complete many more miles of safe motoring. Triangle split, dual-circuit brake system and stepped bore master cylinder accompanies power assisted disc brakes all round, bringing the car to a straight and steady halt. An additional high level rear brake light accompanies the comprehensive braking system you would expect from Volvo.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Volvo Main Dealers The Forum Ltd of Surrey on 15th May 1987 to a Mr Jack Mills who has remained the one and only careful owner from new, only selling the car due to health reasons. The original New Car Sales Invoice reveals a total price paid of £10,174.44. This car has been maintained extensively and regardless of cost by Volvo Main Dealers, primarily Squire Furneaux of Hersham, Surrey. The service history and treatment this car has been subjected to is simply incredible, with all invoices and receipts retained by the original owner. Having been subjected to 6 monthly service intervals, the original service book has long been filled, but is present in the file along with all subsequent service documentation which have been numbered and logged by the owner for ease of reference. The last in April 2012 totalling £750.30 and included a cam-belt change.

The odometer currently reads 7156 miles, thus confirming the total mileage of 67969 miles. The new owner of this vehicle will be amazed at the level of care and expense lavished upon the car throughout its lifetime, leaving many more years of safe and reliable classic car motoring to be enjoyed.

MOT May 2013, Tax April 2013 and HPI Clear.
Volvo 760 GLE turns 30 - The car that saved Volvo Car Corporation
In February 1982 -- 30 years ago -- the new Volvo 760 GLE was launched. No typical Volvo, yet unmistakably a Volvo. Seen as elegant and exciting with its characteristic design it was well received. The 760 became the car that actually saved Volvo Car Corporation back then and paved the way to the modern company of today.
