VOLVO 240 Indestructible!
The Volvo 200 series is a range of large family cars (mid-size cars in the USA), produced by Volvo from 1974 to 1993, with more than 2.8 million units sold worldwide.[1] The 200 series was essentially an updated version of the 140; both were designed by Jan Wilsgaard. It shared the same body, but included a number of mechanical improvements. The 200 replaced the 140 and the 140-based 164, and overlapped production of the Volvo 700 series introduced in 1982. As the 240 remained popular, only the 260 was displaced by the 700 series — which Volvo marketed alongside the 240 for another decade. The 700 series was replaced a year before the 240 was discontinued.
The Volvo 240 was Volvo's best-selling car from 1975 until 1982.[citation needed] During those years in European markets, its companion was initially the smaller Volvo 66, then its replacement, the 300 series.
Production ended on 14 May 1993 after nearly 20 years.

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.

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.
