  • Help find an early 245 in Hobart

When I first got my 245 (far left) there was this orange one getting around Hobart / Kingston area frequently. Anyone seen it or buy it? There was an old lady driving it around and I haven't seen it in a while. I hope it didn't get destroyed.

    It wasn't this one, which was a 245L which Mister Bear bought and which I towed over to the mainland.

    The one I saw had single round headlights front end. I never managed to find the owner when I saw the car.

    I remember that car from when I lived in Hobart...and that orange L used to be mine!

    Is that Lower Sandy Bay?

      I remember seeing this one in Hobart back in 2016. Was at Salamanca markets. Not sure if it's the same car.

      Looks just like it. My photo was taken in 2012.

      Yep, right below the battery. It was parked there a lot.

      My sis lived just up the Rd, thought it was familiar. I do recall seeing it there.

      The dude that sold you your car, was he possibly German? Pretty sure I recall having a chat with him and I'm reasonably sure that's the guy Fletcher bought his red 740T from yrs ago. If he had the orange one he may well know where it ended up?

        That one is at least still rego'd.

        I bought mine from a couple in Longford over 10 years ago now. They didn't have any other Volvos from what I saw,

        Not hobart and not a 245... but still slightly relevant
