I need an incentive to get some other cars on the road – so would anybody like my rat-look Volvo 360GLT?
It's, if anything, too much fun to drive and too easy to own.
MoT until December 11th; tax until the end of November,
It's far scruffier than it looks in the photos – dented doors; hole in the driver's door filled with slap; rusty carbuncle at the front of the bonnet; sun-roof sealed with gaffer tape.
Other bad things: exhaust blowing slightly; makeshift but effective fuel supply system featuring a Rover 214 filter (which'll need changing soon); radiator slightly silted (runs constantly a little over half way up the temperature gauge, but creeps up a little further on hot days when cruising at 100mph or above); rear shock absorbers could be firmer; slight judder when pulling away sometimes (suspect engine mounts).
None of the above have deteriorated or given cause for concern in 5000 miles of enthusiastic driving.
Everything else is fundamentally decent – engine, transaxle, brakes, tyres, etc. It's great fun to throw around and cruises splendidly on the motorway.
85,000ish miles.
Most importantly, it has a Volvo Backflash across the rear screen. 'Sophisticated styling, fitted in minutes!'
It's near Chippenham, Wiltshire.
