somebody please buy this and put back on the road

Far too good to break

Would be a shame to break as it looks far too good. If it ends up getting split i would be interested in the rear seat....
Someone needs to save this! even if you spent a grand properly recommissioning you wouldn't be out of pocket,

I'm trying to convince my mate he needs to break his 940 he dragged out from under a tree and save this one... it's not going well but I will persevere haha.

It's a shame if this car is broken down to get some parts. Best version of 900 series Volvo ever did.
I'm to far away for bad luck.
Regards, Kay

It needs to be saved.
I wish that I was able to save this car. Unfortunately I am not in a position to do so. If only I had the space.
Good luck 360beast with that mate of yours.

Be a great shame to see it broken but atm seems more get broken for parts than saved the old worth more in parts than complete scenario and if you not into Volvo in a big way and just looking to make some cash pound signs always win hands down
