Seriously?

Mr. Jennings, who taught mathematics, Latin and classics used an expression, Andrew’s behaviour would be less distressing, in a younger boy.

Ah, a classics master is always going to have an exceptionally good withering ‘put down’ to express their frustration, in the dreaded school reports😀😀

I think Steve has had several large Bells already Andrew! Either that or suffering the same as Quasimodo in as much as the balance of his mind is disturbed by external influences!

Let me put that in a more "polite" way - there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, that car takes you over that line!

Quite a nice original 940, might be a member on here?? but a bit odd to buy just this month, a change of heart in not modifying it, and punting it on.

Nice half leather, so you don't burn your proverbials whenever we get some sunshine.

I'm an old duffer so prefer the auto, otherwise, probably a nice motor albeit for a wedge of notes.

That does sound a genuine ad. Looking at his feedback he seems to buy car parts mostly and having sold two items - a Chevvy Pick-up and a Honda motorbike - he appears to be a car nut. I suspect he bought the Volvo at a reasonable price and sees a profit in punting it on.

What a muppet !!! That rather fetching Morris 8 tourer for a bargain price, I posted about a week or so ago, I'd been mulling that one over ever since.

Finally came to my senses and contacted the vendor to arrange a viewing, and of course it's been sold .....

Moral of the day, "I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure" If you see a possible motor for sale, at least go to look at it, then worry about deciding to buy or not.

Of course I have left the vendor a request to contact me if the buyer falls through, not unheard of these days it seems. Although one would hope the type of chap wanting a pre-war car wont be a timewasting eBay tyre kicker.

That does look like a factory fresh motor and if, and it is a big if, someone is looking for such a thing I can imagine them paying over the odds. Not sure, that much over the odds tho'.

Two things that strike me with the ad:

1, why would someone keep an old timing belt? Bizarre! It reminds me of my late father in law. When he changed a tap washer he would keep the old one - when we cleared his effects we found a collection of old used tap washers!

2, I don't 'get' the striping of carpet. Lawns should be striped, carpets, pile brushed in the same direction. It just smacks of trying too hard and over bulling the whole car to get a sale.
