Our journey began 13 years ago with a drive in a Volvo 240 saloon. That single drive sparked a lifelong obsession and the birth of Ashley Classics & Retros. Passed down from my father, who gave me the classic car "bug" early on, automotive restoration is in our blood. It started when I rescued a dormant Volvo 240 saloon project. Back then, sourcing premium vintage Volvo car spares was a massive challenge, meaning we had to search far and wide for quality parts.
That first rebuild snowballed into a full-time career—the best move I ever made. Over the last 13 years, we have seen it all. I have personally bought, restored, and sold nearly 100 classic Volvos, including the Volvo 740 saloon and estate, multiple Volvo 940 variants, and my dream Volvo 242. I still own that first 240 today. This hands-on experience means we are uniquely equipped to help enthusiasts worldwide restore and maintain classic Volvos. We did the trial and error so you can buy classic Volvo parts online with absolute confidence.
