Looking for father’s lost Volvo

I am wondering if CCW readers can assist me in trying to obtain information on – or locate – my late father’s Volvo 144, which he bought new from Kastners of Exeter in 1973. It was registered OTT 312M and according to the DVLA, its last tax was due in 1990.

He was P J Menhenitt and did over 100,000 miles in it before parting with it around 1982. I believe he part exchanged it against another Volvo (a 360) but what happened to the 144 after that I don’t know. It was dark green with brown cloth trim, and had a manual gearbox.

Any help would be more than gratefully received (please send responses via CCW). Mike Menhenitt, Rackenford, Devon
