1971 Volvo 145 for the colour new for '71. In '72 the doors handles were different. |

It has a split rear side-window, that makes it pre-1971. Mirrors on the fenders (instead of on the doors) will usually make it 1968 only. |

Lateef, you are right, sorry for having mistaken the colour year. |

So 1969 only, as there doesn't appear to be any headrests? |

Actually not, this colour "safarigul" (Code 100) was available MY's 1970 and 1971 only, and didn't exist for MY 1969. My second car was a reddish (Code 046) 1969 Volvo 142, and when owning something and seeing plenty of other almost similar ones around one start wonder why some are different. My conclusion after having collected brouchures and loads of other information during the years, is that colour codes is as good as any way of identifying MY's, thus being available on not just one model but the whole range during a few years. Here's a 1970 164 in this colour http://www.164list.se/012604.html and a list of different colours available during what year http://www.164club.se/models.html . I'm sorry that the page is in Swedish, but I haven't found any better. Edit: Why "Made for GB"? I have been told that having the steering wheel on the other side is not enough for qualifying. -- Last edit: 2016-05-08 10:23:42 |

Fender mounted mirror. |

The front wing mirror was an option much preferred when they were sold as optional extra. Not as bad as one might think at first, as they give a wider perspective. I believe Volvo used CIPA (of french origin?) door mirrors on the home market. Why not in UK? Were they not compulsory from 1968 as in other countries? |

The most popular wing mirror in UK was probably the Desmo Boomerang, which came in a variety of designs and had the option of an extension arm for towing a caravan. Fitted with convex mirror glass they gave a reasonable field of view, if you couldn't work out accurately where the following vehicle was, at least you knew it was around. With a wing mirror the driver did not have to divert his eyes through such a large angle as for a door mirror. IIRC, the law required an external mirror on estate cars and vans where a load could obscure the internal mirror. -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 19:27:46 |

March 1970 plate. Might be a red wing badge - if so, 145 S??? |
