Barn find classic Volvo estate survivor sat for 30 years - will it start?

What fabulous story telling. I'm swallowing hard to hold back the tears. I love how Jonny conveys the passion. It's a form of poetry. The crazy thing is I've never really looked twice at an old Volvo but suddenly it is one of the most desirable cars I've seen for a long time! Well done to everyone who was involved with producing this.

It was a 1970 model with the silver grill in Safari Yellow and I absolutely loved that car. In 1973 two weeks after my 17th birthday I passed my driving test and so fortunate to be allowed to drive the Volvo. I'm now 65 years of age and would love to have one once again. I regularly search Classic car or Flea Bay with the notion of possibly trying to find another 1970 Volvo 145S in order to relive my youth. Thanks Jonny for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

I went to primary school in Sheffield in a blue one of these for years and sat in those folding rear seats each day for 4 years. I’m 53 now. The owner of that car (reg RWE88L btw if anyone still has it…) was also a very proud owner of it to the extent he charged the battery every night even though I doubt it needed it. Totally fastidious about it. I too now own my own blue Volvo estate (a new shape V90) and have had Volvos for the past decade. All have been fantastic with a similarly great dealer network too. Love the brand. Funnily enough since COVID I work entirely from home now so it never leaves the garage but I can’t bear to sell it as it’s just so good. Perhaps Trevor felt the same. Perhaps in 30yrs time someone will be pulling mine out of the garage too! Great vid. Enjoyed it immensely.

This is the nearest town (just 5 miles) to Torness Nuclear Power Station which started to be built in 1980 and was generating power in 1988, so as you mentioned the cars owner was involved in the nuclear power industry it all fits that he was working in Torness and probably staying in the nearest hotel in Dunbar.

Headlinings like these can't really sag due to the way they're constructed - it's usually vinyl suspended from wires and glued at the window frames, not the fabric-on-foam stuff that appeared in the 80s.
