good morn,
You might get more views if you placed your advertisement in the sales section: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=150 The asking price is up to you of course, but I think it unlikely that a laid-up Volvo 240 with no MoT might achieve anything close to £2,100. Project cars like that generally make a bit under a grand. I wish you good fortune with the sale. :-)

In his favour is that it is an estate (which have always carried a premium over the equivalent saloons) that also looks to be a very clean example. Nice registration number too, if one feels that sort of thing is important. Regards, John.

A failed MOT on rust spelt the end for my '87 745 GLE. The repairs would have cost me c£500, more than I felt the car was worth. A competent welder such as yourself could almost certainly have done it for much less. Perhaps values are lower in Scotland. The 245 GLT was one of the more desirable incarnations; our '83 MOD was one of my favourite Volvos. It is a truism that any car is worth whatever anybody is prepared to pay for it on the day. Like you, I wish 'LJ' good fortune with his sale. Regards, John.
