1990 460 - LEFT! hand drive

tinyfish · Apr 18th, 2014, 12:50

Ok, so I was hoping the time would never come, but I cannot find anywhere to store my beloved 460 GL which I have had for the past 19 years, and it's too expensive to carry on keeping it on the road alongside my new 2001 S40 (which was too good to pass up and, being an automatic, is much easier on my bad knee).

The 460 is MOTd until 9/14, has not long had a new alternator and battery and last summer had a really nice welding repair done in both rear wheel arches. I imported it myself ages ago and, not expecting to ever sell it, fitted a used speedo, so the mileage shown on the clock at the moment is much higher than its actual mileage (I will work out the actual mileage and add here asap, but it's very low for its age). It is peacock green with lovely light beige interior (very soft velour-type material, in excellent condition) and a sunroof with tilt and slide action (I love that roof!). I will take photos of everything and put them up asap as well. In the meantime, please get in touch if you think you may be interested, I am looking to find a very good home for this car.

Thank you for the email addy, I will hopefully be able to get photos up by the end of the week, sorry for the delay, as I said unfortunately I am having equipment problems.

Sorry for the delay, I have been in and out of hospital for the last six weeks.

Here are the promised photos: http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/460albums/story/81515

The car was originally registered in Austria, I have owned it since 1995 (one owner before me) and imported it August 2002 at which point it had done 83213 km (51705 miles). I had a used speedo fitted which at the time had 147559 miles on it and currently stands at 169762 miles, so the car's actual current mileage is 73908 miles.

The previous owner had a minor scrape along the right hand side which never bothered me but which means there are some visible scratches on the plastic bumper and some marks on the paintwork on that side.

Looking for £490 ono.

Any questions please PM.
