AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This 1977 Volvo 244 DL 2.1 is the special 50th Anniversary Jubilee Edition, an original Swedish classic showing only 145,648 km. To celebrate half a century of car manufacturing in 1977, Volvo produced a limited run of these Anniversary models, distinguishable by their unique silver metallic finish with black and gold side decorative striping, custom plush velour upholstery, and special 50th-anniversary badging featuring founder portraits. Built on the legendarily robust 200-series platform, this edition combines classic safety engineering with a highly collectible trim package. Examples in this condition are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find, presenting a special opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking an authentic classic Volvo.
BODYWORK & PAINT:
The body is solid and well preserved for its age. The car has been garage-kept and shows no significant structural rust. The paintwork shows age-related imperfections, including localized spray-paint repair areas, visible paint defects, uneven finish in places, and small superficial marks that do not significantly affect the overall appearance. The underside is in very good condition with no deep corrosion or significant rust observed. There is no accident history. The rubber seals around the doors and windows are in very good condition, as are the windows and chrome details. Headlights, rear lights, and other exterior lighting are all in very good condition. To the seller’s knowledge, the vehicle has not undergone any welding repairs and appears to remain largely original and untouched, with no current areas requiring welding.
TECHNICAL:
The car is in excellent mechanical condition and performs very well on the road. The brakes, tyres, suspension, shock absorbers, and belts are all in very good condition. The engine starts easily both cold and warm, runs very well, feels strong and responsive, and maintains smooth operation with no observed oil or fluid leaks. The manual gearbox and clutch operate smoothly and correctly with no known faults. The vehicle has service history with regular maintenance carried out to keep it in good mechanical condition. On the road, steering, drivetrain, and overall mechanical operation feel correct, making the car pleasant and confident to drive.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in excellent, highly original condition and has been exceptionally well preserved. The original upholstery, front seats, rear seats, and headliner are all in top condition with no tears or significant wear. The dashboard is very well preserved and functions as it should, and the door cards are in excellent condition. The original-style radio, heater fan, and manual windows operate properly. All instruments, gauges, switches, controls, and electrical equipment are functioning correctly without issue.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle comes with comprehensive documentation supporting its history and regular maintenance. Included are the Swedish registration certificate, owner's manual, service book with documented service stamps, and previous invoices and receipts.
COLLECTION:
The vehicle is located for pickup in Valla, Sweden.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
