Volvo celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1977 and released a limited edition version of the 240, the 244DL "anniversary" car.
During 1977 Volvo also won British awards for car safety and in the USA the 240 was selected to develop guidelines for US safety standards.

I agree with the other reviewers who say the Bentley is the One To Get; however the Haynes 240 book often has more details in its step-by-step instructions and makes fewer assumptions about the reader's experience.
I'm finding that the Haynes Volvo 240 series manual is handy for cross refrence, using Chilton primarily.
As a result, this manual is objectionably weak at covering the electronic fuel injection and ignition systems found on most 1983 and newer US model Volvo's - which just happens to be one area of particular interest to most owners - what to do when the "check engine" light comes on.
