Not sure if the car in the add is the very car you are possibly purchasing as when I open the link it shows the add has expired and listed four years ago.

Perhaps it is the same car, but an old add.

I've owned Volvos for 45 years, starting with a 145S and without doubt my C70 is the best and nicest model I have owned. Superbly put together and just has a quality feel about every aspect. The five pot growl is to die for. Whether coupe or convertible very capable cruisers and good ones are bomb proof.

The saffron colour was only produced on the '98? model - so quite rare and dates the car. Personally not my favourite choice but colour is very personal.

The car in the add has been extensively modified and not one I would be interested in - I prefer 'bog standard' factory spec. I would go for a 2.4 or T5 in standard spec, but again personal choice.

If the car appeals, go for it, C70's really are superb and very overlooked.
