The seller offers for sale this Volvo 262C Bertone from 1979, a distinctive sedan with coupe styling, equipped with an automatic transmission and powered by a 2.7-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine. This model stands out due to its unique design, developed in collaboration with the Italian coachbuilder Bertone. The car offers a comfortable driving experience and represents a rare interpretation of Volvo’s approach to luxury during the late 1970s. It combines practicality with exclusivity, making it an interesting choice for collectors seeking something different within the Volvo range.
The Volvo 262C Bertone was introduced in 1977 as a luxury variant of the 200-series, featuring a lowered roofline and a more refined interior compared to standard models. Built by Bertone in Italy, it combined Volvo’s reputation for safety and durability with a more elegant and exclusive design. The model was produced in limited numbers, which contributes to its rarity today. With its smooth six-cylinder engine and relaxed driving characteristics, the 262C offers a grand touring experience rather than outright sportiness. Today, it is appreciated for its unique styling, limited production and its place in Volvo’s history as a more exclusive offering.
