Same model as our 'V' reg., 'CTA', but that is dark green with beige leather. I'm not over keen on silver cars myself, but when one is buying at that price point, condition trumps colour every time. Significantly, as you say, it did look a nice car.

Like you, I also prefer velour. Our last 745 had them, and they were excellent. All of the V70s that we looked at had leather, and we felt that was insufficient reason to reject an otherwise suitable car. Although I freely admit that it does look slightly tatty, it does not detract from the car in any material way.

Regards, John.
