I've been 'collecting' Volvo 164 survivor info for nearly a decade now and haven't come across this one before now. Therefore I too would have to see it and look in all the vital areas for possible storage neglect, and the reason it missed all those MoTs.
I don't consider a good respray a bad thing as we all know paint fades, especially gold. I agree a close inspection might reveal original paint in places. Make sure the spray company replaced all those difficult-to-source bits afterwards - that I saw at a dealers a couple of years back was lacking some bits which the dealer was unaware of.
If in fact it is just emerging after a probate case, their valuation could be quite reasonable.
