inside needs the carpet, wich i have a roll of to match the tan, the center console needs fitting, something doing with the blue middle door trims and a few bits of trin for along the bottom of the doors and rear quartrlight windows all available from any 700, i think the bits at the bottom of the doors can come from a 900 too, theres the middle seats and devider need recovering if you keep them and the roof liner needs a bit of work other than that i will have done it all.

as for keeping it on the road, it will need NOTHING for MOT which i'l put it in for anyway only things that will need attention is the steering because i haven't quite centered the steering wheel,tracking my be worth checking as well. brakes wil be ok for a while, oil is clean, but i have never changed the plugs on it in the 3 years ive had it.. never needed to! they have been checked on from time to time though. i don't know what else to say.. maybe it wants a new bulb somewhere?? LOL

your welcome to give me a ring if you want to disguss it properly i'l be here all night

Shame to see your selling after you have come so far with it too. Hope it goes to someone who will look after her and that the replacement you manage to source is a Volvo

Hi its about the same wheelbase as regular transit van. it would go on a trailer capable of carrying one. i am located in hamilton postcode ML3 9pz, car is 2 mins off the motorway, wich is the straight run down south.. carlisle is about 90 miles away.. your recap is correct, HOWEVER the car IS MOT'd till january. i can asure youi its tyres and maybe immisions because its been sitting a while that will be off on it., ive worked alot on this car and so did Locky and Cumbrianmale, i am sure they would tell you just what its actually like.

techniccaly yes, but i wouldn't advise it with all the loose stuff in it.but yeah, tax n' fuel it and you can run it home. as for the airport.. glasgow would be nearist and its about half hour away.the limo is classed as PLG, standard for a car. and it seats 7. and yes its a shame, its been there for a very long time.. and now this is startign to happen... i have no words fofr it, i really dont. i love that car too much.. it hurts to see thest TWA Tea's wreck it.
