I love the handbag tray and the switch on the back of the front seat to, presumably, adjust the picnic tray so that one can sip one's Dubonnet in comfort. I would not be able to resist playing with the blue lights, although totally illegal on the highway, but great fun nevertheless.

I can imagine cruising along the front in Skegvegas in this. Anyone?
Well this regal thing has moved along somewhat since ITSv40 posted it, currently £39,150 with 5 days still to go......

Cheers

Exactly my thoughts.

The seller has a 'bog standard' Volvo engine and gearbox and trying to make it sound 'special' - with presumably a 'special' price.

His strategy is working somewhat as it has piqued interest on here.

Even a B230FK/T with an M90 would struggle to fetch that much.

I wonder if the reason for the absence of engine-bay shots is the driver's side bonnet hinge is seized - the rear of the bonnet is sitting proud. The rear shocks are more likely to be Monroe Ride-Levellers (inflated via a Schrader valve in the boot) than Nivomats; if there's no rear ARB that would make them a factory-fit as SFSS has both ARB and Monroe units.
Plus it's got a set of Recaro front seats!
Makes me wonder what SFSS would be worth...
