The seller offers for sale this 1988 Volvo 240 GL Estate, powered by a 2.4-litre six-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission. This Swedish-built estate is presented in good condition and, according to the seller, all maintenance has been carried out. The car is officially classified as a historic vehicle. The seller notes a few small imperfections: there is a small scratch on top of the tailgate, some oxidation in a headlight, and a small paint repair could be carried out on the rear door, along with a minor remark from the inspector. A practical extra in the form of a 2.00-metre polyester bag for use in the load compartment is included in the sale. The current odometer reading is 181,000 km, and the car comes with a valid inspection.
The Volvo 240 is one of the most enduring automotive designs of all time. Introduced in 1974 and built until 1993, it became the definitive family estate for a generation, renowned above all for its safety, durability and enormous, squared-off load compartment. The 240 pioneered many safety innovations and served as a benchmark for crash protection, while its honest, boxy styling has aged into genuine classic status. The estate, with its vast and practical cargo area, is the most iconic and sought-after body style of the range, and diesel-engined examples with the smooth six-cylinder unit offer relaxed, economical cruising.
Once a common sight on every European street, well-kept 240 estates are becoming increasingly collectible as enthusiasts rediscover their combination of practicality, character and near-indestructible build quality. This historic-registered example, with its manual gearbox and six-cylinder diesel, offers a charming and usable modern classic that can still earn its keep as a load-carrier today.
