Video

Fantastic video... I have a gorgeous '72 144 automatic in #109 ocean green. It was originally an Edinburgh car but it's been registered in Ireland since 2000. I see you have the obligatory BW35 oil stain where you park... I have one on my garage floor too. I wish mine still had white wall tires... They do look great with them.

Lots of cool cars.

Who Doesn't Love a Car with Whitewalls!? Sets EVERY car off

Interesting video, it's great to see how much you love the car, good for you.

am an mercedes diesel person but if i would get an petrol or an lpg car it is an rearwheel drive volvo for me , i had an 740 with 700000 km with no problem then i wrecked it.

Lovely car. I'm envious. Great car history, almost as daft here; everything I've learned/researched goes out of the window when in the presence of something I like...

Great cars. Bit heavy on gas and the nerves on the motorways these days. I'm conflicted because I love them but having owned several and getting something more modern ( V70 '99) I'm not sure. The kids loved the 240 GLT we had and that's the one they all hanker after now they're grown up. Deffo a practical classic simply because they're so well built and easy to work on. Great vid cheers mate.

We loved our 74 164E with manual and o/d. That car could move for its day. I don't believe the engine was as durable as the 144 but served us well. Ate up the long distance miles❤.

Brilliant video thanks

Beautiful car. Best looking 140 I’ve ever seen. Love the color

My grandfather had the 140 in the orange. It was very vibrant to say the least. Then he ended up with a green 244DL in '76 which I happily inherited many years later. I still want to find another one.

Please take a 10/10 for that Sir…….you may want to check out a similar Volvo owners story in “. Design Cue “ P1800 on Petrolicious .

Magic!

Like you, someone in an adjacent street to mine had an orange Volvo 244 DL with black interior, P reg, late Seventies, I thought it was a fine looking car.

I had the manual estate version, same year as yours in safari yellow, loved it & have had 3 245 estates since then, brilliant cars!

Beautiful job sir. One of my favourite cars ever. ❤

The last good Volvo. But unfortunately Volvo design suffers since 70s from degenerative "improvements". This one inherited a lot of quality from 60s. So, these car really worthy to ride on it to grocery even today!😊

I had this exact model and color in the late 80s, it wasn't a hotrod but it was a great, reliable car. After a body and paint job, I had notes left on it often from folks wanting to buy it. Some one finally offered me a ridiculous amount and I let it go. Regrets.

Back in the day I had a 142E in the same color. Loved that car. Beautiful!

Cool car! I had forgotten that Volvos (Volvoes??) ever looked like that; the black plastic grille with the chrome surround must have only been used for a couple of years. The carburetor and air cleaner look like something from the 1930s. Best of luck with it. PS: Did you ever have to feed 2 parking meters for the Caprice wagon? It must have cost somebody a mint to bring it over there and adapt it to UK regulations.

This is a lovely car and a great video. Did this chap fabricate his own mirrors? I have a 70s bug and I’d love a set of round ones. 😊

Good to see this old Volvo from the early seventies. My Mother had one (DLY 982J) and we were royally driven to school in it. On the day my sister was born, she was driven home in it, and some years later learned to drive in it!

Real car!

The build quality on these were better than the 200. The engines were dead simple to work on, galvanized floor pans inner wings . And good thickness metal. Not saying later cars were bad these were good. I worked on a few. My dad had the 145 deluxe estate.

I've seen you driving around. Gorgeous car.

Nice machine, I've always liked old volvos but never owned one. Always had old mercedes, only two and a Peugeot 504ti. Old volvos getting hard to find in Australia, but maybe one day

Well done that man. It the film it looks quite remarkable, lucky you. You have a lovely car and cherish it for what it is - A SURVIVOR! Yesterday I saw the very same model car here in Sydney in white. It looked lovely in the traffic.

A fabulous video of a lovely car and a even lovelier owner

Great video, I remember seeing your Volvo at the Giffnock car show last year. Very nice

Very well presented video Paul, thankyou for sharing.

Lovely video, far better than any kitchen but I’m biased a bit as my Dad had a 144 too.. (WFM267K) find memories!

Nice car,I like the whitewalls. Good video 👍.

Salut my friend super car... super video subscribe subscribe

Great to see my Mini 🚗😁

Had the pleasure of shooting this car myself and it’s absolute gem. Ross is a great guy and you can see the passion he has for the beetle!

It looks awesome! Cant wait to own one, i would love to own the pre-nascar version from fully loaded, but i dont know where i can find the parts, like the see through trunk and the spoiler

Gutted to have missed it, was on holiday. The Rallye with the Bstar Sebrings and Colin mcs mk1 looked great though 👌

Great stuff! Hope you had an awesome time!

What a peach of a car.

Looks stunning, well done. I'm about to take delivery of a 67 Mk.1 GT in Sandy Beige, I owned 40 years ago! I found it 4 sale by chance online and its coming home. It's been very well looked after and was pretty unique when i had it all those years ago. The first owner had made many improvements to the creature comforts in the car, which looked period - better than what MG subsequently did, he was clearly very talented. For example he ditched the Smiths heater etc and designed his own heater/fresh air system with small eye ball vents at each end of the dash.

I want to say thank you for such an inspirational video.i just have bought a red 1990. I hope I can take it to the next level with love a dedication. My best wishes from Costa Rica... Atte: Esteban Orozco Fonseca

I fully understand your love for the cx....because i have one myself, such a pleasure to drive and travel with this car

Nice car and watch ❤

I’m surprised that Sam Barris, Gene Winfield or The Alexander Brothers didn’t leap on it when they first came out.

😍😍😍😍😍😍👍

👍 👍 👍

Today 23-01-2024, was the 1st time that I have heard about the Prodrive version.

Lovely car mate.l also had a 1990 8 v.Beautiful car.Wisl dtill had it.Sold it 8 years ago.Audi A2 now,a rare ird in itself. Nice job!

Outstanding ! The heckflosse were amazing sedans in the 1960's and they remain so for their handcrafted build quality. i'm nearing the end of restoring/modifying a 1964 220b myself. I couldn't bear to see the car being hauled away to be crushed. The power train on my 220 came from a 1971 280SE. When the California Dept. of Motor Vehicles inspected it, they thought it was original. Hope you enjoy your W111 along those beautiful UK backroads! 3 cheers!!!

This iconic DS also has the advantage of using LHM mineral oil instead of LHS2 and is therefore more reliable hydraulically. Slopy dash hydraulic change DS21 Pallas single headlight with spots... It is indeed the one to have.... Congratulations.
