One of the series in which Scandcar is specialised is the Volvo 240 and 245, the hit of the 70s and 80s.
After slightly changing design and safety aspects, the 240 series became one of most successful series ever, with the Volvo 244 and Volvo 245 as showpieces. The Volvo 244 was the robust sedan version; the 245 was the sturdy and very spacious station wagon. Still today, you see those unmistakeable classic cars with their typical seventyish and eightyish look and feel, in Dutch and Swedish streets.
The cars were very spacious and particularly the station version had a big trunk. The 240 models, including the 244 and 245, were available for more than 15 years. Unfortunately, in 1992 the curtain fell for the Volvo 240 sedan. In 1993, also the production of the station wagon or the estate ceased.
Scandcar imports and maintains these models. There is always a nice variety of Volvos 244 and 245 in stock. In addition, Scandcar organised reproductions of parts, to keep the Volvos 244 and 245, that are still on the road, in a good and safe condition.
