Default Maddy up for sale (potentially) 1979 244 DL Saloon

Dear all,

Due to a change in circumstances all my fleet is up for sale as I need to trim it down by at least 2 cars therefore I am offering the wonderful 244 DL Saloon known as Maddy to members.

Steve did a great thread on her here:

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=63663

where you can get a comprehensive history.

Since getting Maddy I have put 1100 miles on the clock, bought but not yet installed electronic ignition, dismantelled and fixed the stalling issue (identified as a bit of vinyl in the reconditioned carb float chamber - must have fallen in there when the carb was reconditioned - by a professional as well!)

the car needs the timing set properly and could do with a good tune up

I have just put another 6 months tax on here and she is MOT'd till June - I do not envisage any issues on the MOT.

I will be looking for £750 which is what I paid for her.

Like I say, I am not forced to sell her but will be open to interest form members.

This is a wonderful, if not wholly original example of what is becoming a rare car just now - I absolutely love her and hope that it will be one of the other fleet that goes before Maddy.
