Here are the pictures he sent me:





Only other problem is that it is a LONG ASS way away from me. If I could get the parts for it cheap, like proper cheap, I would probably have it. Looks like it would need:

- Front bumper
- Front left wing
- Indicator lenses (x2 if orange)
- Lower panel (below grille)
- Left-rear door

well matt front bumpers are easy to find but getting them delivered is probably harder ,the indicators are easy to find lots on ebay the colour of the car wasnt a uk colour so getting a door in the same colour would be hard i think you would have to get the one on it fixed and get a panel beater to knock out the front panel lip but the trim once fitted will cover most of the damage once straightened other than that it would clean up ok but keep looking theres always another one unless you get it cheap!! its worth fixing good luck gary

To be honest if the car and price are right and you are only in East Cumbria I think I could maybe live with an auto. I'll send you a PM.

To add to my first post; I really want an estate, I will consider a saloon but only in dark grey.

- Dark grey or dark blue metallic (Red and white are absolute no go)
- Manual
- Leather interior.

Hi,
I bought this Volvo 240 GLT http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C289438
for £2300 then £300 to have it shipped to Scotland, then spent hundreds to make it trully showroom and mechanically perfect, to then have the missus say she wants a "modern" Volvo (sobs loudly). Now I have to sell it...
