Default 1992 240 SE 2.3i MANUAL

I'm selling my faithful 240 estate. Its not perfect but a nice tidy car.

MOT expiry 3/4/12
Tax end of October 2011
156200 miles

All paperwork present and correct with spare keys.
Genuine Volvo after market 240 voltmeter.
Wood slatted roof rack that looks great but with a little surface rust on a few sections of the metal frame.
GLT alloys with new tyres fitted in Sept 2009
New headlamps 2010
Tow Bar and twin electrics.
Former keepers: 4

Service history
Stamped in book (mileage):
14657
19220
24942
33548
38610
44477
54528
69828
82928

Receipts:
113216 Service
136915 Service
137212 miles Replacement ECU, air mass meter, coolant and oxygen sensor 141151 Service
146116 Service
150365 Head Gasket replaced
153187 Service
Yearly service at independent Cheltenham Volvo specialist since 2009 when I bought the car.

Last MOT had advisories:
Windscreen has chip.
Nearside front anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement
Offside front anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement
Offside front wheel bearing has slight play
Play in offside steering drag link end.

Front side light fixing has broken. Works fine and passed last MOT. Presently taped and secure.
Catch at back of rear seats to enable them to fold flat has broken. However it is still possible to fold the seats by releasing each side manually.
Some rust on nearside rear wheel arch.
Small rust rust patch by windscreen.
The trim on drivers side door has fallen off but not lost. (see photo)
Unfortunately the stereo is my partners and I can't sell it. The wiring has been changed to fit an aftermarket head unit so easy to put your own in. The speakers are original but are not broken and sound OK. I will include the original stereo which worked perfectly when removed.

Engine runs well, no smoking. Bodywork very solid with usual dings and scratches. Not too bad at all. Clean interior with no rips in the leather. Professionally valeted

Would love this car to go to an enthusiast who can give this 240 a little TLC, not that it needs much! Car is near Cheltenham. Please feel free to contact me if you want to have a look and ask questions. Test-drives very welcome.
£650

This looks like a great buy for someone, very nice spec and the late 2.3s don't turn up often!

I jumped out of my seat when I saw the pictures and was ready to get my wallet,,,,,BUT visit the flickr photos.and look at the rear arch and windscreen surround.
I love the colour and spec and it's ticked all my box's But for the rust.
I know it's not a big job to get put right but I have NO facilities to do it so I will continue my hunt.
And yes I would love owning a 264TE but the prices look to be going up and up out of my reach.

£1021
£710
£450
And thats early on.
Regards Brian.

I know what you mean about the rust, I was thinking the same thing about the colour and spec.......................I love the roof rack, but again without paying someone to fix the rust ( I am guessing a lot?) I have no way of getting that sorted before winter.

Cheers
Andy
