After Volvo had worked its way up to become a respectable car manufacturer with an excellent reputation in the 1950s and 1960s, the completely new 140 model series was introduced in 1966 as the successor to the 120/130 model series (called Amazon). Initially there was only the four-door 144 sedan, and in 1967 the two-door 142 sedan and the five-door 145 station wagon were added. The middle “4” stands for the four-cylinder engines and the last digit for the number of doors. From 1968 the representative six-cylinder sedan with a different front and the corresponding designation 164 was added. A total of 1,205,111 Volvo 142, 144 and 145 were built. The successor 240 was introduced in 1974. Although the 240 is considered to be a separate series, in reality the 240s were extensively revised 140s, as the passenger compartment, including all windows and doors, was taken over from the 140. As the 240 series was built until 1993, it is fair to say that this vehicle model was built for over 27 years. In 1976, the American traffic safety authority chose the Volvo 240 as the reference vehicle for setting future safety standards. In 1991, the American Insurance Institute named the 240 the safest vehicle on the American market. The Volvo 144 marked the beginning of a 27-year career of a very successful model family, and the career continues in the classic car scene, where these cars are currently experiencing a renaissance. If you see a Volvo from this series today, it is usually a station wagon, because unlike the other manufacturers, Volvo station wagons were driven less by tradesmen and more by families with many children. In contrast, the sedans are rarely seen today.
This Volvo 144 was first registered in Monaco on August 8, 1967. According to the existing documents, the car was first owned in Monte Carlo in Monaco until 1999. The service booklet, which is in mint condition, only shows the new car service on August 8, 1967 in Monte Carlo and an inspection at 9,025 kilometers on November 12, 1975 in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris. After that, there is evidence of the regular technical inspection in Monaco from 1992 to 1999. All of these documents are in the name of the first owner. On August 30, 2000, the Volvo came to its second owner, a collector in the Netherlands. The mileage at that time was 11,717. After he died, the Volvo was sold to its third owner, two friends in Lüneburg and Berlin, on December 19, 2011 for €14,750. There is an invoice dated January 27, 2014 for the removal of both axles, the blasting of the axles and the underbody, the zinc-chromate primer and subsequent painting of the axles and the underbody with marine paint for €3,173.59. On February 8, 2016, the car was then sold in its entirety to the gentleman in Lüneburg, who, due to lack of space, has given us the sensational Volvo to sell. Apart from a small dent in the front left fender above the indicator, so small that it can hardly be seen in the photos, the vehicle is in realistic condition better than 2+. A better example would be hard to find. Volvo’s career start – career start.
