The Volvo 240 GLT needs little introduction, but this silver estate deserves one. Celebrated for reliability and that unmistakable silhouette, it stands out for its low mileage and single ownership spanning 36 years. Kept for special occasions and family holidays, it comes with a documented history that shows careful, considered ownership. It drives beautifully and presents with quiet confidence—an unusually rare chance to acquire one of the best-kept GLT estates in the UK or Europe.
1989 Volvo 240 GLT Estate (£6,000-£9,000)
1991 Volvo 740 GL Saloon (£3,000 - £5,000)
Both vehicles will be offered in our upcoming sale, with bidding opening on Friday 31 October. Further details, photographs and condition notes are available in the online catalogue.
If you’re looking to add to a collection—or simply enjoy the satisfaction of driving something built to last—these Volvos offer a rare opportunity to own two immaculately kept icons.
