1973 Volvo 145 Express.A rare vehicle and one of two known in the UK.An unusual model based on the 145 estate car but with a factory option high roof and tall tailgate. Very large load capacity especially with rear seats folded down.The car starts and runs and has what i believe to be the original B20 2000cc motor. Single stromberg carb. If you click on or copy and paste (into your browser) the link to photos you will see a video of it running.Starts and idles ok, sounds quite smooth and quiet running.It has a 4 speed manual gearbox with overdrive.The clutch is not working which i believe is why they stopped using the car. It was parked up for some years unused.You are looking at a restoration project that needs rust repair to the lower body. Sills, floor etc have rust so it will be a full srtip down and restore job on this one. Upper body, around windows etc are good. See picture file. There are over 150 pics showing inside, outside, underneath, motor etc. It needs quite a bit of work.Dashboard is quite good without cracks etc. Some switches missing from centre console. Original front seats are fairly good for age, rear seat is torn.Original towbar and over cab rack. Added full roof rack which looks great i think alongside the paint fade and patina of the roof.All original glass, all doors open and close ok apart from the left rear which did until i closed it yesterday and now it doesn't open again.. Small problem in the grand scheme.Key in the ignition and the car starts and idles. Lights work, wiper motor works, horn gives a lame toot occasionally..A cool old Volvo that's mostly complete (some side trim etc missing) but needs some love to bring back to life on the road again.I can deliver no problem. Just message for a quote.Comes with Swedish papers (equivalent of out V5), NOVA printout showing correct proceidures were followed in import process. I can advise on uk registration as have done hundreds of them. That part is easy and costs £55 only. You get an age related number.Picture link (you may need to copy and paste into your browser):https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rqxfyvvxmwu3lal/AAC8HRMC5eUM8kBjY9c2vAgwa?dl=0The pictures will tell more than words can.
