More something for the Volvo Vandals Club than owners club. As you say there are so few of them that to break a good one is tragic. Breaking should be reserved for cars that are beyond salvation not perfectly good examples simply for financial gain. Perhaps an E type convertible might be the next project or a DB4 GT that would surely break for bundles.

If you could price for all please including delivery, that would be great.

Thanks In Advance

Hi 300 for the lot, but the bumper cannot be posted as it is too large,

Can you get back too me as other people are wanting the bumper.

The mods are the majority of the breaking value

How about return to standard, selling the modifications on a standard part return basis? A good standard example will fetch £3k to the right person.

£1k for breaking it isn't a good pay when you work out the time involved.

You will also end up losing some of your £4k on eBay and PayPal fees.

£3k for the car plus the small fortune you will get for the modifications seems far more sensible financially and sentimentally.

I do envy your dilemma though!

The wife said that yesterday, but on the mechanical side of things, i would have to find a standard exhaust, downpipe and cat, plus a 18t turbo, the rest of it would be a doddle to fit, but then i have the task of telling someone, that it was a 285whp car that was put back to standard, it would make people walk a mile, even though the car has only covered 137k miles, just had a new uprated clutch fitted, it has just had a new mot, so i maybe would get 2k for her, she is in really good condition except for the passenger ns door and the rear bumper.

If i took off the easy parts i could, and sold them i would get around £1600 and still have the car to sell, say £2000 max,
If i break the car, i would get £4400 plus all of the little bits and pieces, so that would take it over £5k, i am sorry but £1400 isn't to be sniffed at, would some of you guys burn away £1400? infact £1400 is more than i am looking to spend on the V40 lol.

At the end of the day it is his car and he can do what he wants.
I agree that yes, it is a shame that such a nice example will be lost but
1, money talks.
2, At the end of the day it is a piece of metal with some plastic and rubber attached.

Well guys, i came back from a lovely weekend away, car was simply awesome as usual, i have decided to keep her, I am going to get a little diesel to do the weekly things and the R can come out at weekends

,

Thanks for all of your input i really appreciated it and it did help me to come to this decision, i might start getting her into better condition bodywise now.

regards Gary.

Good for you, Gary...and what a relief...LOL.
