Highlights

Rare limited edition Torslanda model, produced to mark the end of 240 production
Features the original 7-seat estate conversion
Recently recommissioned with extensive mechanical work, including a new cam belt kit, clutch kit, and fuel pump
MOT valid until January 2027

The Appeal

The Volvo 240 Torslanda was a limited-edition model produced to commemorate the end of 240 production. As one of the final special editions, the Torslanda holds particular significance for Volvo enthusiasts. This estate example is made all the more interesting by its 7-seat configuration, a rare and sought-after layout.

This 240 has been comprehensively recommissioned with considerable investment in mechanical and cosmetic work. The vendor states the car now runs and drives very well, and a fresh 12-month MOT has been obtained. The bodywork presents well for a 1992 vehicle, with only a few age-related dings and some corrosion noted on the nearside front door. The vendor describes the interior and seats as being in very good condition for the car's age.

This is a well-sorted, increasingly collectable Volvo that's ready and waiting for a lucky new owner.

are there any corrosion points that are major? The photos mostly look like surface rub down and prime/paint, but curious if any of there is anything worthy of note? Thank you

Hi, no major corrosion, had some surface on subframes and axles etc underneath but this has been wire brushed and under sealed as best as possible, nsf door by the lock has a rusty patch which would need a plate ideally and a tiny bit on nsf lower corner by windscreen rubber, all in pics I think, it passed the mot fine.
