This appears to be the only one licensed in the UK with another 5 on SORN. Almost ultra rare!

I purchased the car in August 2007 and have lovingly cared for the car ever since. There was also of service history with the car including the dealer service book and I have had the car meticulously maintained at an independent Volvo Specialistt called Sheffiled & Meredith in Leicester.



The condition is very good for an original 30 year old car and I can say that having driven an identical model which my late father owned during the 1980s, it performs on a par with that one, which I used as a bench mark when I first test drove this car. This is testament to the quality of servicing this car has received throughout its life. The power delivery is very smooth and strong.



I have a vast multitude of spares which are from an identical model 1982 264GLE



These were acquired from a Dolorean enthusiast who was stripping his 264 as he only wanted the engine from the donor car as these have the same engines used in the DeLoreans and his engine had failed. It was too good an opportunity to refuse and I hired a van and stripped down the car for all the spares he had.



The spares I have are as follows:-



Gearbox

Bonnet

Boot

Chrome grille

All 4 Doors with all workings

Headlights with chrome trims

Rear Lights

Full set of matching seats.

1 additional spare alloy.

Front & Rear bumpers

Steering rack

Dash

Steering wheel

Starter Motor

Various Air con spares, hoses etc.

Various brake spares.

Various trims - interior and exterior.

Sun roof

Various spare switches.

Steering wheel

Badges

Various mechanical parts.



As I say these are identical colour and trim specification so I have a complete hospital kit should I ever be unfortunate to require any of these(hopefully that will never be the case)



The bodywork is very good but If I am splitting hairs, the sunroof has lost a little of the top coat of lacquer and the rear wheel arches(a small area near the rear mudflaps) could be tidied up, but these are minor and would not require a vast amount to make 100%.

The car is still for sale.

I have reviewed the asking price and have revised this to £3250.00 o.n.o
