Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

We get to see a lot of cars here at our Oxfordshire HQ.

Great ones, rare ones, fast ones, expensive ones, interesting ones, weird ones, old ones, big ones, small ones….you get the picture.

But we’ve never before encountered anything quite as remarkable as this 1993 Volvo 240 Tørslanda.

It is a one-owner-from-new example and has 11,934 miles on the odometer.

Yes, you read that right – 11,934 miles.

Given that these cars are famously capable of mileages in the moon-and-back category, that makes this one barely run-in.

It is utterly authentic, original and unmolested, having spent its life kept warm and dry inside and only rarely venturing out.

The vendor, who is a relative of the car’s late owner, tells us that this car’s sole curator was a very particular man who liked things to be neat, tidy, orderly and just so.

It was he who retained the plastic seat covers that are still in situ today.

And it was he who started and maintained a service history that saw this car serviced 19 times by the supplying main dealer, MRG of Chippenham, and no-one else.

It is, in every respect, simply extraordinary.
