Volvo 265 GLE by Editions Atlas

9/5/2014

The number forty-six in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 265 GLE estate. This model represents a car from model year 1982. It is painted black and features a beige interior. Editions Atlas is the first company who is offering a correct 1:43 scale model of the Volvo 265 estate.

In the autumn of 1975 (for the 1976 model year in America), the 265 DL estate became available alongside the existing range, and this was the first production Volvo estate to be powered by a six-cylinder engine. The Volvo 240 and Volvo 260 share the same chassis and body. They are basically the same car but the 260 has more luxury items and the more powerful V6 engine. Depending on the year it is equipped with power mirrors, power windows, leather interior, lots of chrome on the outside, upscale sound system, mag wheels and other luxury items not found on the base Volvo 240. From 1975 to 1980 the car was available with a standard or automatic transmission. From 1981 only the automatic transmission was available. 35061 units of the Volvo 265 had been built between 1975 and 1985.

Judging from the photos this will be a very fine model. This collection is being better and better. The only thing that worries me is that there is only 14 models left (if 60 remains the total) and I have at least 20 on my wish list :-) counting some variations of those already published.So I will be both happy and sad when it ends.

Well you know guys that there have been recently a discussion on Facebook saying that it might be possible that the Volvo Collection may be increased once again resulting in a total of 75 models.

This would mean that we might see a couple of other wanted and not yet offered/produced Volvo models.

As far as I heard Editions Atlas will take the decision this month. So they might surprise us once again.

Hi Michelle
Isn't it time for a new poll, I believe you have thought of that? It would be interesting to see which other 15 models we Volvo fans want most. (I guess those #45 to #60 are already decided)! I think Mr. Atlas got some fine suggestions from your earlier poll.

PerC did suggest fine models. But what about in addition to them:
"Philip"
L2314 Laplander / "Valpen"
VESC
940 begravningsbil
960 ambulans

PerC and Hannu: I like both your lists!
The TP21 not in military green livery, but in the UN white version.
The Giocher version and Esdo version of this one are not for sale anymore or far too expensive.

Volvo 265 was one of my "want to have" cars when I was a teenageboy back in the 1970's. It makes me mad because it from the beginning just were sold in the USA (like the 262 sedan).

Became glad later when it was introduced in Europe. Did I got a Volvo 265 back in the old days? Of course not... It was ALL to expediencive... :-(

Now I like forward to have my "first choice of car" from Atlas. Can hardly wait to drive it down of Memory Lane.
