Once in a while,  and probably once in my lifetime, a car so special comes along that it doesn’t lend itself easily to a brief summary in a space like this, and such is the difficulty I face in trying to put into words some thoughts about my first and favourite Volvo, my white 1976 244DL.  It’s now exactly 30 years since this car first graced our driveway, and here it remains as functional, reliable and dare I say beautiful as it always has been, even if it’s limited use and pampered existence these days is far from the many miles it once travelled and loads it once carried as a hard-working family car.  This anniversary seems like as good a time as any to pay tribute to “one of the best”.

Early 1968, I was interested in purchasing a 1963 Wolseley 444, as I was driving a 1963 Volkswagen 1500 station wagon at the time. I took a Wolseley for a test drive, and wasn’t overly impressed with it. I then needed to reconsider my choice and started thinking about a Volvo 122 station wagon.
