The Appeal
By now, it's no secret - Volvo mastered the estate car. Introduced in 1982, the 700 Series Estates were a great testament to the company's greatest assets. Their cars were rock solid and spacious, with an over-engineered ethos offering a remarkably safe, durable and practical car. Boxy styling and a utilitarian aesthetic make these retro executives incredibly evocative.
Like any Volvo, though, these cars were built to rack up the miles, and a good example is becoming increasingly rare, as they're often run into the ground as the years go by - so we expect this 1989 car is going to garner plenty of much-deserved admiration.
Having covered a respectably low 84,105 miles from new, this 740 GLE estate comes to us in impressive order, having been through only two former keepers, and being kept secure in professional, dry storage. No bones about it - this fine silver-grey motor has everything going for it! Volvo 740 GLE-010.jpg2.18 MB
