It is a Volvo 240 Tørlanda from 1993 and yes, the Danish island “Ø” was used to make the term more Scandinavian.
More specifically, this is a special version for the UK market.

A real expensive grab
A total of 2,685,171 copies of the Swedish folk home car were manufactured between 1975 and 1994. In Sweden, there are 53,072 registered cars at the time of writing.
Just the Tørslanda variant could be obtained in red, white or silver and came with 15-inch multi-icing rims, tinted squares and a number of small details that distinguished it-but not much more than that.
There are only 152 pieces of 240 Tørslanda left on British roads.
Now the world’s finest copies have gone under the club at the British The auction house Bonhams.

Barely run -in Volvo 240
This Volvo 240 Tørlanda has gone only 1,921 miles and is probably the finest copy in the world “.
It is not uncommon for the Volvo 240 that has gone tens of thousands of miles, which is why this copy stands out.
The car has only had one owner since new and has always been serviced at Volvo.
– In every way it is completely extraordinary, Bonhams writes.
The interior is said to be exactly like when it left the factory and the chairs are wrapped. This Volvo 240 has also been in a garage all his life.

The car went for 21,409 British pounds, corresponding to SEK 299,433.
That’s about twice as much as the average price for a Volvo 240 on Classic market.
That being said, the price is good much lower than other fine copies of the Volvo 240.
For example, one went Volvo 240 automatic in the United States for over SEK 450,000 in the middle of 2022.
Probably the price of this 240 Tørslanda is affected by the fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
The car did not hit any records, despite its unicity. (Photo: Bonhams)
