Default BREAKING- 1988 Volvo 740 Estate.

As much as it hurts me i have no reason to re MOT my totally reliable BLACK 740, so i offer it here as parts(only because it is worth more as parts than it would be if i re MOT`d it and sold it with 12 months ticket).. All parts are available as are the 7 seat conversion.
Ideally i would love someone to buy the car complete but unfortunatley the car is worth more in parts it seems.
Thanks Minty


All parts available.

Hi Minty,

seems a shame to break it, rare car in black as well.

Regards, Prufrock.

No... you can't break a black one - you should be dropping it on the deck and putting some Hydras on it!!

If you are sure you are breaking it, could you tell me how much you'd want for the following:

- both front indicator/sidelight lenses (as long as they are not broken/cracked - look ok from what I can see on the pics)
- eggcrate grille

Hi,
She sure does look sweet in black...

I am looking for a replacement for my "center console ???" if thats what you would call it? The large plastic trim piece that extends from under the ashtray in the front, around the gearstick and handbrake to the blinking seatbelt light visible in the back (forms the armrest as well).....does that make sense?

Mine is cracked.

I don't care too much what colour it is.

Also, what type seats have you got...I might be interested.

I will have to think about some other bits and bobs.

Thanks,
Shane.

Minty, if you do decide to break it, could you let me know how much for the above post, and also...

- Door mirrors - are they elec and heated? And they look painted black rather than black plastic - is that right? Are they good nick?

- Also, what engine is in it?

As long as we see pics of it polished up, and dropped over some Hydra's or Polaris wheels that's fine!
