Thanks Mark, a pleasure to speak with you this morning and for you to offer to advise me of anything suiting or close to fitting the criteria expressed in previous posts.

If a mature guy (say 40 years old) bought a new Volvo in 1973 then he would be 84 years old now. It's still possible your one owner perfect minter 142 or 145 is out there. However if the owner bought when he was more mature at the age of 50 then you're chances are low.. probably will be a barn-find exactly like mine.. car sat in a family's yard after the owner couldn't drive anymore or passed away.
Good luck! If you hold out too long you might miss out altogether even on a ratty one. I think deep down though we are getting excited for you and just want to see another one picked up for our entertainment.
An original car doesn't need to be with its original owner. Documents, receipts, etc are often passed down, these are precious ephemera to me, clutter to others.
It could be sitting in a yard or a shed, well used and nearly forgotten by whomever is the current carer or a friend, waiting to be nursed into life once more. Shared with the community, to be hidden no more.
Romantic notions to be sure, though notions can have their roots in truth.
