1978 Volvo 242 review from Spain
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During a 3000 Km journey around Spain we had a little problem with a piece. It only took us 5 minutes to fix it. That's all.
General comments?
3 years ago, my father wanted to get rid of it (it would have been a big mistake). Now none of the mechanisms work but the engine goes as well as 22 years ago.
