The seller offers for sale a 1979 Volvo 262C Bertone, a distinctive two-door coupe powered by a 2.2-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox featuring overdrive on third and fourth gear. This example has been restored some years ago and is presented with RDW vehicle reports dating back to 2008, as well as an extensive valuation report. The black leather interior shows only light age-related wear and remains intact. The car features power steering and four disc brakes. With a valid inspection until August 2027 and exemption from road tax, this 262C offers appealing usability. Only 6622 units of the model were produced between 1978 and 1980, making it a sought-after collector’s coupe.
Introduced in the late 1970s, the Volvo 262C Bertone emerged from a collaboration between Volvo and the Italian design house Bertone. Its lowered roofline, formal styling and hand-finished assembly distinguished it from standard Volvo models. The car was aimed at buyers seeking a more exclusive and refined version of the 200-series platform. Built in limited numbers, the 262C has gained recognition for its unique styling, comfortable ride and solid construction typical of the brand. Today, surviving examples appeal to collectors who appreciate the blend of Scandinavian engineering and Italian design influence. Its rarity, distinctive appearance and dependable driving characteristics contribute to its desirability within the classic car market.
