The seller offers for sale this 1980 Volvo 244 GL, powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Presented in light blue over a blue interior, this 244 GL shows approximately 118,000 km and has been kept by a single owner who always stored it in a garage. The seller describes the upholstery as well preserved and the car as having recently received maintenance, with its periodic inspection and insurance in order. As the higher-specification GL model, it offers a more comfortable and better-equipped take on Volvo’s famously durable saloon.
The Volvo 240 Series was launched in 1974 and went on to become one of the defining Volvos of its era, remaining in production until 1993. The 244 denoted the four-door saloon body, and the GL trim sat near the top of the range, adding extra equipment and a more refined level of trim. The 240 built its reputation on safety, longevity and dependable engineering, qualities that made it a favourite of families and that continue to earn it a loyal following among enthusiasts today. Its crisp, angular lines, penned during the 1970s, have aged into a distinctive and instantly recognisable shape that defines a generation of Volvos.
This particular car pairs the smooth, easy-going automatic transmission with the willing 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine, a combination well suited to relaxed touring. The light blue paintwork sits over a coordinated blue interior that the seller reports to be in good condition throughout. With its single-owner history, careful garage storage and the robust, over-engineered character that made the 240 Series so enduring, this 244 GL is an honest and usable classic Volvo with genuine collector appeal.
