1974 Volvo 140 review from Australia and New Zealand

Fuel pump just died, so had to replace that in 2008. I just bought an electric one on ebay. (Touch wood) nothing else really has gone wrong with the vehicle. It is a paddock basher on about 60 hectares; nothing else can really go wrong.

- Bad rust at rear of vehicle. (Due to the fact it has never been garaged)

It is used as a paddock basher, so I really don't know what it would handle like on the road, although on the grass even in the wet it handles quite well, so I would imagine that it would handle real well on the road. The reason it's used as a paddock basher is that it has too much rust to get a road worthy certificate.

On another note, the interior of the vehicle is quite nice. It has a nice colour for the trim, and the seats are like lounges.

The car has a large boot so it is a good car for a large family etc. It can tow a lot for a car of that size. It can hold approximately 107kg of luggage on the roof (that would really help).

The car has front and rear crumple zones, three point safety belts, energy absorbing bumper bars, collapsable steering column, and large disc brakes all round.
