Basic information and history

The classic Volvo 760 GLE from 1985 represents one of Volvo's most iconic flagships - an elegant blend of comfort, robustness and period design. For car enthusiasts looking for an original with a Swedish 80s feel, this example is something out of the ordinary.

The odometer reading is sensationally low – only 27,050 km – and can be guaranteed . The car is Swedish-sold and has an exciting ownership history from new: it was bought by an older man who drove it sparingly between 1985 and 1991, and then stayed in the same family until 2016. Since then, it has only had one other owner, who himself bought the car precisely for its unusual mileage and condition.

This is a unique collector's item for those looking for a Volvo 760 GLE with documented low consumption and sparing use. A specimen for those who appreciate authenticity and careful, honest use from the start.

Equipment and options

  1. Electric sunroof
  2. AC (currently out of order)
  3. Wind deflectors for front doors and sunroof
  4. Fog light
  5. Snowcap

The car comes complete with, among other things, an electric sunroof and the coveted snowcap. Over the years, only cosmetic improvements have been made:

  1. 3-step polishing with ceramic paint protection, performed June 20, 2025

Otherwise, the car is in near original condition without major modifications.

Condition

Body and exterior condition: The paint is in good condition with only minimal scratches and a few small dents – no rust. Chrome, moldings, headlight lenses and emblems are in very good condition. All glass surfaces are fresh.

Interior: The interior is very nice, only one remark: the headliner has started to loosen at the back and is sagging slightly. The steering wheel, controls and buttons are still in excellent condition, with a lovely original feel.

Tires and rims: The tires are old and have some dry cracks. This should be considered before continued use.

Mechanics and function: Engine, brakes, gearbox and driveline are in good condition and work as they should. The electronics are otherwise functional, the only exception being that the AC is currently out of order.

Service history

The last service was performed recently, 2025-04-21, when, among other things, the oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, belts for the servo pump, AC and generator as well as the pressure accumulator and all fluids were changed. This work was performed by the current owner.

Inspection records are available from 1991, 1995, 1996, and the last approved inspection was carried out on 11 October 2024. Otherwise, inspection documentation and service history in the form of records are included with the car.

Summary

This is a rare opportunity for the Volvo enthusiast – a 1985 Volvo 760 GLE with documented 27,050 km, exhibiting a nearly unique state of preservation and complete history.

Thanks to low mileage, careful use and regular service, the car is extremely attractive to both collectors and those looking for a genuine quality Volvo from Volvo's golden age. Perfect for those who appreciate cars in pristine condition, ready for both enthusiast use and exhibition.

Don't miss this opportunity to become the owner of one of the best preserved examples of the Volvo 760 GLE on the market!
