The Classic Volvo 240 Estate
Think ‘Volvo’ and you’ll most likely think of a car like the 240 Estate, a practical wagon unburdened by the need to be stylish or sexy in its ultimate pursuit to carry as much stuff as physically possible. This laser-like focus translated into huge sales with the company’s Torslanda factory churning out nearly 3million 240s.
When the 240 went on sale in 1974, the sloping bootline of newer Volvos – like the V90 that’s just gone off sale – wasn’t even a twinkle in its maker’s eye, anything but vertical meant less room in the load bay. Open the chopped back end and you’re met by load space that could send antiques dealers of the 1970s, 80s and 90s (the 240 sold for nearly two decades) weak at the knees at the mere thought of how many treasured articles could be crammed safely into the Volvo’s boot.
Safely you say? Maybe ‘safety’ would be a better word, because the 240 prized safety even more than capacity. In 1982, America’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration deemed the 240 the safest car it had ever assessed, leading the way with modern features like crumple zones, side-impact protection, seatbelt pre tensioners and ABS with discs on all four wheels.
While the 240 long preceded the 850 that made a name for itself on the British Touring Car Scene and was loved (by police and public alike) for its blown five-cylinder motor, the 240 was also available with a turbocharged engine. Nowadays, its combination of a rear-wheel drive setup and a huge engine bay that’s ripe for a bigger motor, makes it a popular candidate for V8 conversions.
The best testament to the 240 Estate, though, is the sheer volume of cars still available – some of which carry starship-like mileages with seemingly very little wear to show for it, when rivals from the likes of the UK, Italy and France have long since rotted away.
