262C Bertone for sale - 500 Euro's!
Hello!
New to this forum, and probably my first & last post - I have an Alfa Romeo 166, and scouring ebay Italy, ebay France etc for spares for for my Alfa Romeo 166 (some now unavailable here) I stumbled across this which I thought may interest 262C Coupe enthusiasts here: https://www.ebay.it/itm/Volvo-262-c-...gAAOSwSDxecMxi ...being an Italian car fanatic I've always had a huge soft-spot for these lovely & rare Bertone-designed Volvo Coupes. This one is non-working & "exposed to water for about 10 years". Sad to see it in such a sorry state.... but what a bargain. Certainly a brave punt for restoration! |

That's a pretty scathing assumption? I know the "exposed to water" phrase might be scary but it could potentially be tanslated as "lived outdoors in all weather" for that time.
I don't understand Italian well enough to translate but knowing how Italians often phrase things, that could very well be the case. According to the listing and what little i can translate, it was bought from France and seems to have been neglected rather than anything else. Shame the handlebars are on the wrong side really............

That 262c would look great in the front garden (although the neighbours might disagree). Here are some more old Volvos that have been exposed to water:

It may look a whole lot better with a good clean! It seems complete (apart from the grille?) but may only need recomissioning and some paintwork.
Maybe i'm just too optimistic....................

Hate to say ,but I don't think anyone should be buying anything that has been in contact with persons unknown least of all from Italy.
Hard surfaces can hold the virus . Stay safe. |

That said, i'm not medically qualified, have picked up bits and pieces of information over the years but by no means whatsoever should anything medical i say be taken as gospel without checking it out. However i've confounded at least two specialists with my medical understanding of certain conditions from an engineering perspective and in one case, advanced the specialists own understanding of an aspect he previously hadn't considered. Perhaps instead of doctors, we should have "Medical Engineers"......................

Part of the messgae coming from gov. &c advisors is that information re Corvid 19 is .... NOT COMPLETE .... yet. One factor that has been spoken of is, obviously I think, mutation. It is said there are already more than one strain or variant and that is apparently par for the course for any "new" virus. So you are right to recommend caution. If the jam jar is desired, maybe do the deal on the basis that delivery (collection?) is to be determined in due course re Corvid .... Stay safe. .

Love the wheels. They must be worth the 500eur alone.
