1982 Volvo 264 GLE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Powerful, if you can afford the fuel, but don't fancy yourself doing any work under the bonnet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wouldn't start (water damaged).
Two of the electric windows don't work (red dust gets in the electrics).
Electric aeriel/radio didn't work.
General comments?
Good power (spins the wheels easily).
Comfortable interior.
Ridiculous setup under the bonnet (couldn't even get to the spark plugs without dismantling half the engine)
Lots of gages so you can keep an eye on everything (outside temperature gage, tachometre, battery gage).
Power windows handy.
