In 1974 Volvo started rolling the 240 off the production line - a car range that, Volvo believes, is one of the longest-lived of any automaker. Production continue until 1993.
More than 100 000 employees have contributed to it rolling out across the world through all those years.

At the start of the 1980's a turbocharged version of the 240 series was also launched - "the first turbo from Volvo and now a much sought-after collector's car", Volvo asserts.
From 1974 to 1982, the 240 series - along with its 6-cylinder sibling - the 260 was the only model produced at the factory in Göteborg.
