Volvo 240 GLE

1983 Volvo 240GLE registration number A131KDS taken at the National Memorial Arboretum Drive it Day Staffs 2019. The Volvo 240 and 260 series were introduced in the autumn of 1974 and was initially available as seven variations of the 240 Series 242L 242DL 242GT 244DL 244GL 245L and 245DL and two variations of the 260 Series 264DL and 264GL. The 240 Series was available in sedan with two or four doors or station wagon however the 260 Series was available as a coupé 262C Bertone four-door sedan or station wagon. The 200 looked much like the earlier 140 and 164 for they shared the same body shell and were largely the same from the cowl rearward. The 200 Series had MacPherson strut-type front suspension which increased room around the engine bay while the rear suspension was a modified version of that fitted to the 140 Series. The steering was greatly improved with the installation of rack-and-pinion steering with power steering fitted as standard to the 244GL 264DL and 264GL and there were some modifications made to the braking system in particular the master cylinder.
