A genuine 3 owner import from the Netherlands. This Volvo 242 DL is a rare sight in the UK as they were never releasedby Volvo to the UK market. I have owned the car now for 5 years, I originally purchased the car to make into quite a different modified Volvo but the project never really materialised so the car stayed standard other than the seats and steering wheel which complement the car in my opinion. I'm the third owner of this car and I imported it myself from the Netherlands back in May 2019, I have done less than 300 miles in the car in my 5 years of ownership. I bought the car direct from the second owner. The car has been restored by it's original owner (looking through my conversations from when I bought the car, it was restored in around 1994 according to the second owner), after restoration the car has been sat in storage with the same equivalent as our SORN status until 2018 when second owner bought it. The second owner used the car for around a year and had done less than 1, 000km before deciding to sell the car. Before I purchased this car I had looked at a few different 242's from different countries and paid to get the cars inspected, all the cars were very rusty underneath and then I spotted this car had come up for sale. I messaged the seller and came to an agreement to have the car inspected. The inspection came back and it was the best car I had seen, requiring very little work. The seller had an oil change done just before I bought the car, I have just carried out a full service myself on the car. During my entire ownership the car has been kept indoors in a dry garage other than my first month or so of ownership where it was kept outdoors but under a car cover.The only changes I have made to the car are fitting a genuine rev counter to the dashboard centre binnacle, replacing the old worn out seats for Alfa 156 black leather front seats, fitting black leather Volvo 244 rear seats and fitting a motolita steering wheel with a snap off steering wheel boss to make it easy to take the steering wheel with you when away from the car thus making it less desirable to be stolen. Sadly I no longer have the original seats or steering wheel. The car has just had brand new front and rear brake calipers, pads and discs fitted, a full service, a new battery and comes with plenty of spares that are handy to keep in the boot.
