The seller offers for sale this 1993 Volvo 240 Polar U9 estate, finished in its original paintwork and remarkably preserved with only 253.000 documented kilometers. This car has had just one private owner. The vehicle was carefully driven and kept in indoor storage for nearly all of its life, with the exception of the past two years. It remains in its factory specification and does not feature aftermarket modifications.
The Volvo 240 series, introduced in the mid-1970s, became an icon of safety, durability and utilitarian design. By the early 1990s, it had earned a reputation as one of the most robust family cars ever made. The 240 Polar variant offered in markets like the Netherlands provided dependable transportation with Volvo’s typical emphasis on safety and minimalism. With production ceasing in 1993, this final-year model represents the end of the line for one of Volvo’s longest-running and most beloved series.
Volvo’s design philosophy with the 240 favoured clean lines, solid construction, and practicality over luxury, and it was praised for its straightforward engineering. The estate body style in particular found favour among families and professionals, offering generous cargo space and remarkable longevity. Today, surviving examples are celebrated for their resilience, with many surpassing high mileage figures with ease. However, it is exceptionally rare to find a 240 Polar with such low mileage and unspoiled originality.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a 240 estate in time-warp condition. With its genuine documentation, single ownership and factory finish, it offers both collectability and usability to the right enthusiast or Volvo collector.
