This 1979 Volvo 244 DL is a timeless Swedish classic in unique, original condition, making it a true rarity. The 244 has long since evolved from an everyday family car into a sought-after “youngtimer.” With its proven reliability, this DL is the ideal entry-level vehicle for enthusiasts of Scandinavian classics. The classic gray-beige color combination perfectly complements the timeless design. A Swedish car with genuine potential for appreciation!

    Technik: Zu meiner Zeit als dieser Volvo auf den Markt kam, hieß es immer hier kommt der Schweden-Stahl-Panzer!! Fast jedes Produktionsjahr wurden schrittweise Verbesserungen vorgenommen. Eine der wichtigsten war die Einführung des Sauerstoffsensors in Nordamerika Ende 1976 (Modelljahr 1977). Volvo nannte ihn Lambda-Sonde und entwickelte ihn in Zusammenarbeit mit Bosch . Er ergänzte das bereits vorhandene Jetronic -Einspritzsystem um einen Regelkreis , wodurch das Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisch feinabgestimmt werden konnte. Dies führte zu besseren Emissionswerten, einem optimierten Fahrverhalten und einem geringeren Kraftstoffverbrauch. Für das Modelljahr 1983 verzichtete Volvo auf die Bezeichnungen DL und GLE und bot die Fahrzeuge fortan nur noch als 240 an. Auf dem schwedischen Markt war der 240 mit einem 2,1- oder 2,3-Liter-Motor erhältlich (für den Export gab es mehr Optionen), wobei der größere Motor stets mit einem Fünfganggetriebe und getönten Scheiben kombiniert war.
