The Volvo 140 is an automobile from Volvo. It consists of the models Volvo 142 (two doors), Volvo 144 (four doors) and Volvo 145 (hatchback). A six cylinder version called Volvo 164 was also made. It was first introduced in 1967. Production ended in 1974.
Volvo used a three number system for their cars. The first number was the series, the second number the number of cylinders and the third number the number of doors.
Although the 140 is a 'big' car, the turning circle of 2lft makes it quite easy to get into tight places, the only drawback being the absence of power steering.
Volvos can still rust, just like any other car but looked after they can remain bodily sound long after lesser cars have gone to the crusher.
There is no end to the possibilities of modifying a 140, some of which the purist, concours enthusiast, may scorn but which will increase the pleasure and fun of owning one.
