In August 1974, Volvo presented a new generation of cars in the 200 Series called the 240 and 260 Series. These new models had been developed from the 140 series and were very similar to their predecessors. The changes included a new front, large bumpers and a redeveloped chassis, featuring a front-wheel suspension system of the McPherson type. With the introduction of the 240 family, a new 4-cylinder engine series with an overhead camshaft was also presented. The previous 4-cylinder was still used during a transitional period for basic versions of the 240-series. Like the Volvo 244, the 245 could also be ordered for a short period with a V6 engine. The market's first 6-cylinder diesel in a passenger car made its appearance in the autumn of 1978 - in the Volvo 240. This was a successful alternative in certain markets where diesel fuel plays an important role.
First registered 1st May 1978, this 244 DL 21 has come from long-term ownership with just one former keeper recorded from new until May 2023 and with the odometer displaying a mere c.51,000 miles. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Shenandoah Green (paint code 123) with a Beige cloth upholstery, it had been ordered with automatic transmission and the B21 2127cc engine. The ‘one former keeper’ was the vendor’s next-door neighbour, it was he who serviced and maintained the car prior to passing, the Volvo was then left to the vendor. The 244 DL 21 requires recommissioning, however, it does run and drive (at the time of consignment). The 244 is being offered with a history file that includes a collection of MOTs and invoices and the current V5C Registration Document V5C.
