From pressing a chronograph pusher to watching the smooth sweep of a seconds hand, there’s something to be said about watching a mechanical object put into motion.

A model car evokes a very similar feeling. It beckons you to glide it across a table, to open its doors to get a closer look at its detailed interior and to pop the hood revealing a carbon copy engine. What’s more, there’s an element of playfulness between the two — a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Whether it’s watches, model cars or anything vintage, it’s the tactile experience that keeps us in the moment, and it’s what we love about all analog things.

Volvo introduced its 200-series models in Autumn of 1974. Alongside the 260, Volvo 240 came in no less than seven iterations. Produced in both two-door and four-door variants, the Volvo 240 drew heavy design cues from its 140 predecessor. Known for their versatility, boxy styling, indestructible driveline and safety features, the Volvo 240 is a cult favorite amongst automotive enthusiasts the world over.
