Description
FOR SALE
1968 Volvo 142
Historic targa & classic road rally car
This is a very rare car in standard form and even more sought after as a competition car, with very few left in existence from the original import of 2, 500. It is an appreciating investment & asset, offered here after a full refresh, ready to go for the competitor, for shows or the investor.
The car was first renovated by its present owner some eleven years ago, the restoration photographed from start to finish. After using the car a handful of times with its best result being third in class, the car was garaged for some time before being re-commissioned this summer.
