......looks like someone, possibly named Barry, or from Barry, got hold of this poor old girl & drove it straight through their nearest branch of Halrauds, seemingly with no concern for life, limb or common decency

If it was a turbocharged model I’d be tempted to resurrect it - there’s probably a decent car buried underneath that crap - but it’s not, so I won’t - but perhaps one of the NA fans might be interested??

Why oh why would you do that to a car springs to mind!!!

MY EYES! MY EYES! Aaaaaaagggghhhh!

Even the dealer selling it is stuck for words.

Is it really 13,000 miles?

The registration number P952RAH isn't recognised by the DVLA website, or the MOT history check website, nor is it recognised by the GSF or Eurocarparts websites, nor is the car on the insurance database.

Distinct aroma of a long-tailed furry rodent methinks!

Most of the stickers could be removed, the interior doesn't look too bad, 130k is not a high mileage for an old Volvo, dealer thinks it's a manual not an auto, ...just the registration would worry me...even if it's been re registered it can't be made to look newer that it is.

Oh god that's worse than me, I thought I was bad with putting the prancing moose sticker on the side, a blacked out grille, debadging then just adding a Swedish flag badge to the rear, as well as painting and decaling all the brakes. I think my little details are discrete though compared to this :P
