My Abandoned Volvo was RESCUED by this 1 Million Km Volvo 960

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

That 960 estate is gorgeous

[@hauke4651]

OMG it’s finally online 😍 thank you soooo much for that unforgettable adventure 🥰🥰🥰 it was a pleasure to meet you in person and get Elsa back home 🤗

[@austintalley4070]

Nice rig, guy.

[@hauke4651]

@@austintalley4070thank you very much 🤗

[@RichieRouge206]

Not gping to lie, I felt very emotional watching this. Not only is that 960 stunning and it hit a massive milestone, but seeing the old footage and finally being reunited with Elsa. She is my favourite by far on the Involvo'd fleet. What a great video and good to see content again. Wish you a very happy and upwards 2025 fella.

[@ruchmann]

Absolute heroes! And that 960 looks great with that rims. 1M km it's brutal.

[@Phiyedough]

I was not expecting to see that dog, bringing a dog into UK is more complicated than bringing a Volvo!

[@hauke4651]

Surprisingly it was …indeed 🤣 I was sure to be well prepared but the the lady at the gate ( or first barrier ) told me the opposite and cost us an additional stay in France

[@stevebayross7248]

In 1988 i started selling Volvo's at Fishers Volvo Reigate subsequently i worked at Lex Volvo Birmingham, Holloways Volvo Malvern and Arlington Volvo Cheltenham up until 2000. It amazes me that they are considered "cool" now because they were always thought of as being "old farts" transport... Many brilliant memories. The 965 was the best Swedish product......

Brilliant, love the other Volvo who brought her ! Just a couple of beautiful looking classics .

[@MrTeabag58]

Brilliant stuff ! You've got some great mates.

[@black_touring]

Wow, as you know I’m a bmw guy, but that 960 wow absolutely beautiful. Congratulations that you got Elsa back 👍🏻

[@username.858]

Nice to see you back in Volvo business. All the best of luck to you in 2025. I really want a 960 now...

[@clairebroughton3244]

That 960 ❤oh my dayz love it, drove them in the funeral service in the uk before moving onto the S80s. Absolutely adore the 960s

[@ched999uk]

That was so kind of them to bring her back and what a 960 - beautiful. Hope you are doing well and I bet the little one has shot up - nice to see the old vid clips.

[@MrSkoda105s]

Happy your baby is home safely. ❤

[@harryireland1935]

Wow. What a great video! Just as I was wondering why there weren't recent upload since you restarted the channel.....now I understand. Very good, thanks!

[@simonhodgetts6530]

That 960 is absolutely wonderful. I’ve had experience of its follow-up, the short lived V90 - an old boss owned one and I regularly borrowed it for site visits. What a car! I’ve driven and owned all sorts over the years - BMW, Audi, SAAB, Mercedes and Alfa Romeos, but that V90 was possibly the best car I’ve driven. In sport mode the kick down and performance was silky smooth, and it was surprisingly nimble on a twisty road. The only other car I can compare to it was a ‘94 Scorpio 2.9 auto, which also had a cosseting ride and a really comfy interior - something that modern, and especially German cars seem to miss these days.

[@paultucker1272]

Elsa's rescue was where I joined the Involvo'd channel......great to see her back! And that 960.....wow! What a beauty!

[@ScrotusXL]

Very emotional ending to this video but also very positive as the Volvo community are so supportive. Great work and all the very best to you in 2025 👍

[@iridiumvalkyrie9017]

HAPPY NEW YEAR, SLEDGE! I love your videos most of all and I'm so stoked to see this. Cheers!

[@damo6975]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉great to see elsa back what a beautiful colour 960 👍

[@lifelong5425]

Little emotional for you mate when I see you and Mrs. Involvo'd.....The same car was part of my divorce also, that's weird...the exact same one as I mentioned to you before...(already with the double headlights here in Vancouver).....Good to see you moving on, and to have friends like that...1million kms, that is awesome, and it looks wonderful still......VOLVO for life...I was thinking of getting into a Mercedes wagon as I viewed this amazing one down here while in California....then I woke up. My 04 189,000 km XC70 is going nowhere....All the best for 2025....

[@850r2]

Heartwarming.

[@schande]

good for you, happy new year

[@pattyseree]

My ‘88 240DL is that colour, called Glacier Blue.

[@familiekremer27]

Cool video, i am currently restoring an old 240 with all its problems 😢 It would be cool to have a garage in Germany which knows everything about these old Volvo cars 😊

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

1,000,000 Km is wild, and hasn't been written off by a plonker is amazing, looks fantastic. I've driven a few cars with a bit more than that and they have been the walking dead.

[@RichardBarth-y4v]

Next Volvo 960 to your garage or 850 love watching your videos

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Awesome road trip

[@fhwolthuis]

I got a bit emotional at the end too, Sledge 🥹 Good that she's back with you. Wish you all the best and luck in 2025 🍀🌟🙏🏼

[@dbt2787]

Glad you’ve been reunited with Elsa. Those shots outside the German garages go right back! that 960 sits really nicely on those C70 BBS wheels too

[@hauke4651]

Thanks a lot mate ! Brought them brand new in 2010 and never regretted it 😊

[@williamwales6619]

Crackin update , Good to have you "home" even if you are technically a foreigner" South of Gretna"🤣 Did we catch you havn a wee moment at the end. 👍

This is special ❤

Ciao, grande video come al solito!!!!! Dovrei portarti la mia Volvo 240 wagon faresti molti video ahahahahah . Grazie e continua così

[@JulesArtelierandEmporium]

My Fella has a few Volvo's (probably more than he tells me he has) that he could add to your collection!!! LOL

[@skaraborgcraft]

How did that speedo roll over when it was showing NO speed, unlike in the previous night footage?

[@bobjohnson1587]

If you look closely the speedometer is showing about 10kph as it rolls over. I hope this helps. 🙂

[@hauke4651]

@@bobjohnson1587exactly ! It was first gear idling speed :)

[@73henny]

How did it go over 999999 when it appears the car wasn't moving?

[@Sam-Nail]

Wonderful video Sledge! I have so many questions for Hauke! I own a 1997 960 wagon/estate (Emerald Green) with only 10% of the mileage of this lovely example. I would never have thought an automatic 960 could tow a 740 wagon halfway across Europe! I would love to start towing projects home with my 960, as I have passed on a few non running 240's as the expense of hiring a truck and trailer made it prohibitive. Hauke, have you made any modifications to your 960 outside of the trailer hitch to make towing large loads possible? I already have a hitch installed from the previous owner but am planning on adding an auxiliary transmission cooler. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Where can I buy a strut tower brace like the one on your 960? Thanks for helping out the channel and bringing Elsa back.

[@bobjohnson1587]

I've been towing large loads with my Volvo's since '89. Up until the '03 models no Volvo was rated by the manufacturer to tow more than 3300lbs. If you still have the owner's manual for your '97 960 there should be an entire section on how to tow with your vehicle. Those instructions have always governed my decisions on how and what to tow whenever I have towed. A good place to start your "towing projects" would be to review those instructions and to be governed by them. I hope this helps.

[@hauke4651]

@@bobjohnson1587that’s not true . They 960 and even the 740/940 comes with 1600kg ( 3500lbs) from factory. But with slight mods by Volvo itself , its legal capable of towing 1800kg ( nearly 4000lbs) . On my case I have an official permission of towing 2000kg ( 4400lbs) for sport reasons .

[@hauke4651]

I only have the Volvo strengthened kit which allows me a total tow of 2000kg. A regular automatic flush every 100K was always done by me . The auxiliary transmission air cooled oil cooler is not mounted in my car but it’s a good option for heavy terrain .

[@bobjohnson1587]

@@hauke4651 The hitch Volvo sells is a Class 2 hitch rated at 3500lbs, but the car itself is rated for only 3300lbs. I know I've had Volvos since '78 and have towed since '89. I hope this helps to clarify things.

[@hauke4651]

@ that’s okay for me, maybe it’s a country related thing . In my manual it says what I had written 😉
