Time to confess, and perhaps I have been drinking too much very old beer, but I have completed the long pondered set of 140 Volvo cars, a 145, a 144 and a 142. Now what? Good question. But hopefully this will develop into a good project thread over time.
The cars are:
1974 142, dual carburetor manual, perhaps one of the last Australian made 142's, build 10/74
1971 144 Gl, Fuel injection manual overdrive, imported from Malaysia by Diplomat, I don't know of another survivor in Australia.
1968 145 S, Twin SU B18, made in Sweden, and a pretty uncommon thing in Australia.
All are projects to varying levels. I will be keeping them essentially original but probably with period upgrades if available (M41 all round?), and then they just might be worth something someday?
In the meantime, good fun I hope, and lots of interesting options and challenges ahead.
