Talking Back in the game

After selling my slightly battered V70 mk1 I felt somewhat “Volvo-less” so here’s my new purchase; 2.0 T manual 83k, 4 Owners, near mint condition, full history with belts, pump and tensioner changed at 77k, everything working as it should £950. And as you can see from the photo it’s obvious who the main driver is on the insurance.

That looks like plenty of car for not much money. Nice.

Good choice and the best colour for a C70

At that price and condition, does driving a stolen car put a smile on your face?

What a great bargain and a lovely colour too.

Recently sold my BMW 330 convertible as it didn't get much use. If it had been a C70 as nice as yours I would still have it.

At the weekend I’ll take some more pics and upload them. The car really is near mint. Because the listed price was only £1099, and when I rang the guy he hardly exaggerated the condition, saying it was “good..but an old car” nearly put me off going to view it. Luckily it was only fifteen minutes up the road!
