Before it became a maker of cool premium cars and SUVs with \u2018Thor\u2019s Hammer\u2019 headlights, Swedish flag bonnet tags and crystal gear levers, Volvo produced a number of now-cult machines. The angular 240 is one, and alongside the 480 ES, it exudes modern classic cool.<\/em><\/p>\n

Arriving in 1974, the 240 is arguably the car most people remember when asked to recall the Swedish car maker. Square-edged, robust, and so incredibly safe authorities in the US used it as a crash test benchmark, the 240 is Volvo typified. And just like ABBA which won the Eurovision Song Contest that year, early 240s are so<\/em> 1970s.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Replacing the 140 Series, the 200 Series of cars wore clothes similar to its predecessors, but inspired by the Volvo Experimental Safety Car (VESC) of 1972. Slightly less pointy-chinned than the concept, the range of two and four-door saloons and five-door estates (prefixed \u201824X\u2019, the \u2018X\u2019 being a \u20182\u2019, \u20184\u2019 and \u20185\u2019 suffix, denoting two, four or five doors) featured massive safety crumple zones front and rear, with a mid-section that was more or less identical to their 140 ancestors. And though the 245 and 265\u2019s load-lugging body was very, very square, they made utilitarian straight-line style sensational.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As well as safety \u2013 of course, long a Volvo traditional trademark \u2013 technology took a step up, too. Overhead-cam engines became standard, while MacPherson strut front suspension was less intrusive under the bonnet, while new rack-and-pinion steering offered a sharper drive (though not by much, this is a 1970s Volvo don\u2019t forget). Posher models even boasted a power-assisted system for extra ease, and to make the Swedish car drive less like the \u2018tank\u2019 it was so often nicknamed after.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

While four-cylinder carburettor-fed and fuel-injected engines powered the lower rungs of 240 ownership, top-spec 260 models gained luxurious six-cylinder \u2018PRV\u2019 units \u2013 so-called because they were designed in a Peugeot, Renault and Volvo partnership. As well as 260 models (note the \u20186\u2019 referring to the six-pot unit), the 140bhp, 2,664cc, 90-degree V6 \u2018Douvrin\u2019 also later found its way into plush 240 GLE and GLTs, and an enlarged 2.8-litre version even powered the DeLorean Motor Company\u2019s DMC-12. Volkswagen-sourced six-cylinder diesels provided oil-burning alternatives.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Not previously known for its performance image, unbelievably, the 240 helped trailblaze the way for hotter Volvos. The 155bhp four-cylinder force-fed 240 Turbo kicked things off in 1981, with the Turbo Evolution of 1983 really turning up the wick. Created to fulfil homologation regulations for the Group A class of the FIA European Touring Car Championship (ETC), 500 Turbo Evos are rumoured to have been made, but sources state that as few as 23 actually made it out of the factory doors in all-out quasi-racing spec. The road cars had a somewhat denuded 155bhp, while the full-fat boxy racers had as much as 380. Think about that: 380bhp in a Volvo 240!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And, just like the BTCC 850 Estate terror of the mid-1990s, the 240 was such an unlikely touring car hero, its cult appeal grew because of it. Seeing images of the 240 Turbo ETC Group A racer now, the car appears so out of place, its \u2018Flying Brick\u2019 nickname well-earned. The sharp-creased body with the minimalist-and-so-discreet front and rear spoilers looked like it could cleave the air which as much grace as a sledgehammer, let alone one swung by Thor. The racer secured its biggest title in 1985\u2019s ETC with Thomas Lindstr\u00f6m and Gianfranco Brancatelli behind the wheel, and when the force-fed engine was dropped into the production 240 Estate, with a 0 to 62 time of 9 seconds and a top whack of 121mph, the 245 Turbo became the world\u2019s fastest estate car!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As if touring car success isn\u2019t marvellous enough, TV and film appearances often help cement a car as a cult classic. And the 240 scores here, too. In the late 1990s, crime novelist Maddie Magellan ferries paranormal sleuth Jonathan Creek around in a red 1985 Volvo 240 DL 2.0 Estate (245) in the TV series of the same name. 1980s antique dealer Lovejoy fared better, his yellow 265 GLE load-lugger starring in the first season of the eponymous BBC drama comedy. The Beeb had previous form, though: a 1972 Volvo 145 DL appeared in 1975\u2019s \u2018The Good Life\u2019 driven by Gerry and Margot \u2013 the curtain-twitching arrival of a Volvo Estate signified to your neighbours you\u2019d really made it.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And if that\u2019s still <\/em>not cool for school, Italian coach-builder Bertone built the 262C between 1977 and 1981: a V6-powered, mostly vinyl-roofed two-door \u2018coup\u00e9\u2019 rival to the Cadillac Eldorado and Mercedes-Benz 280CE. Groovy! If you can find one, there was also the 244 DL-based \u2018244 Anniversary\u2019, built to celebrate Volvo\u2019s 50th birthday in 1977. Resplendent in metallic silver with black and gold decorative exterior trim, it featured blue upholstery, and a special \u2018Volvo 1927-77, Anniversary Car\u2019 plaque. On its death-bed, another exclusive, the back-to-basics \u2018Polar\u2019 245 enjoyed cult status in Europe.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In the current electrified car age, the 200 Series has a happy relevance, too. Volvo has declared plans to electrify all of its range by 2019, but the 200 Series was an environmental pioneer over four decades ago. The autumn of 1976 saw the arrival of three-way catalytic convertor and Lamda sensor-equipped cars for the US, and the following year Volvo picked up the American National Environmental Industry prize. There was more: in 1978 the 240 was heralded the US\u2019 cleanest car by the California Air Resources Board.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The 200 Series still remains Volvo\u2019s most popular car. By the time the curtain \u2013 <\/strong>IKEA-sourced no doubt \u2013 <\/strong>came down on production 25 years ago on 5 May 1993, 2,862,573 240s and 260s had rolled out of the Swedish firm\u2019s factories. Not all chunky bumpers and slab sides, the reliable 200 Series gave Volvo populist and practical, if slightly premium, appeal, and is now more nifty than naff. The 240 has shot bang on target when it comes to the modern classic market, and values of the \u2018brick\u2019 really are flying now\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
