Wonderful! My dad had a 144 Volvo which was the family car. NEF370K I’ve been looking for it for the last 10 years after we lost him to mesothelioma, it was his pride and joy, he part exchanged it for a Fiesta which I later learned to drive and took my test in. I saw a restored 144 at a local car meet I was at, I couldn’t take my eyes off it even though it made them blurry and leak 😪 That video has brought back so many memories, I so wish I could find ours or even be told if it’s no longer here. I contacted the DVLA two years ago with my story but they refused to help.

The first car I remember my dad having was a 340. He was the opposite of the guy in the video when it came to spares and labelling...must be where I get it from!

My dad had a 145 it was a tank. That B20 engine was awesome. He only sold it to get a 245.

I had a 240DL estate company car in 1980, it was huge at carrying construction equipment that I was selling but it was a tank to drive with huge thirst for fuel and was useless in the snow always wanting to go straight on and plough fields😁. Most memorable thing about it was the incessant seat belt warning light which illuminated the interior even in sunlight. Did do 200,000 miles in it without many much mechanical problems.
