Description
We can establish that it is the first owner who covered the relatively few kilometers. In other words, there's been only 1 user of the car. Owner number 2 has merely been a custodian of the car and hardly driven it. We conclude that the first owner had a meticulous disposition. This is evident in the overall condition of the car, and we've seen more evidence of it. The spare wheel, which has never touched the road, has been equipped with foam rubber inserts to prevent chafing. Refer to the image. The cover for the jack and tools has been fitted with clothespins (which is an extra step since the cover is intact) to stay securely in place and remain completely silent. The first owner made a few deviations from the base configuration. He had snow caps, a rear reflex ramp, and reflective tape installed on the bumpers. There are also sun visors mounted that can be pulled up on the rear window.
Original instruction book and service book are included. The car is now tax-free but must undergo an inspection at the vehicle inspection authority. The last inspection was in 2012. A binder with many preserved inspection reports is included.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with Volvo's classic B230 engine. Here in carbureted configuration with a stated output of 112 horsepower. 5-speed manual transmission. Recently serviced, including a new timing belt. Runs smoothly and steadily on the road. The engine sounds immaculate. No remarks or issues.
-
Interior condition
In this case, it would be easy to use the term "like new" as a routine description. However, rather than using grandiose words, I'll let the pictures do the talking. The seat covers are an original accessory that has been installed since the car was new. We chose to slightly lift the cover on the driver's seat to showcase the original upholstery. See the image. A bit of curiosity is that both the ashtray and cigarette lighter appear completely unused. The car is equipped with an early car alarm that we haven't tested. The first owner had an original Volvo stereo installed. He was meticulous and saved the original speaker grilles. Equally pristine in the trunk. The tailgate will need new gas dampers.
-
Exterior condition
Very nice original paint without any door dings or scratches. Straight and clean body. There is a small touch-up right at the left rear fender edge. (Read the service workshop's comment below) Otherwise, no remarks or issues.
-
General condition
Very impressive overall impression. One of the finest and most well-maintained 744s I've seen in several years, especially in the GL base configuration. Deserves a place in a museum.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
