Default indeed...

There are some discrepancies that I know from my research.
It has had an engine swap.
Virgos from a GLT or optional extra?
Body is legit late model 1981, however that does not match that 79/80 V plate reg. (Cherished transfer)?

Anyone seen this car around?

PS lend me 6k. lol

Copy of the words from the advert :

Volvo 262c 1980 with a difference, on 240 running gear, B230 fully reconditioned engine, 5 speed with new clutch, 240 front end with large headlights , all new suspension and brakes, refurb wheels and new tyres x5 ,new sports exhaust, full respray,padded roof removed and sprayed satin black,much more.

What that all says to me is originally a 262C with the proper vinyl roof and B27 engine with autobox and it blew the engine and was laid up. Meanwhile the roof rusted underneath the vinyl then they had a 1983 240 with a good B23 and manual box so they swapped the oily bits, removed the vinyl from the roof, patched and bodged it and resprayed it Satin Black and eventually put it in for an MoT last August. How legitimate that MoT was we may never know as it's outside ths statutory period when it can be taken back and/or appealed to VoSA.

All that says to me instead of lending you £6k to buy it, the best favour anyone could do you is NOT lend you anything towards buying it!

Sure it's nice looking and i may be wrong but this cynical old git is keeping his money where it will do more good! Feeding my wallet moths.......

Actually, I rather like that. I’d want to see before, during and after photo’s of the work done on the body.

I believe it's done on quantity of posts, some other members may know the exact figures and/or where to find a list (if such a thing exists) detailing m-n posts = Junior, n-o = senior, o-p = master or whatever.

AS an owner of two of these this car is so wrong on so many things. As a non original daily it would be fine but it would just annoy me so .... I`m out.. The price isn't crazy though and it probably goes better than the horror V6 with a slusher. A tarted up rotter went through Brightwells last year at £8800.

In fact having given it a 2nd stare the car is more 240 than 262c. There`s a bit more to this one than meets the eye. The whole dash has been changed as well and the back end just isnt right. Front wings are 240. 262c`s just do not do later bumpers. It has to be polished alloy, Corona wheels and egg crate grille. Whats going on with the two ariels and a bit of wire? I don't like it at all. Just my opinion, of course, having stared at these things for the past however long.

Having (briefly) owned a Pug 604 with the "horror" V6 (B27) and slushbox, i can definitely think how sluggish that would be!

Thankfully for me, Volvo reworked it and created the B280E (full-fat, 170bhp version in mine) which does what you'd expect a big V6 to do instead of growling mutedly and drinking the global fuel reserves dry quicker than Oliver Reed dries a pub out.

You say the price isn't crazy but i beg to differ on that one. The "original" Volvo system of series number, engine cylinders, doors to comprise the model number was still rigidly in existence at the time this car was made, ergo it should have a 6 cylinder engine.

It would be like fitting a Dolomite Sprint engine in a Triumph GT6, only 4 cylinders but produces similar power. But it's not a 6 pot!

Each to their own though!

Bearing in mind the rarity of the C the price kinda is where I`d expect a non-original to be. But the market will dictate so who knows right now, though I suppose when I come to sell one of mine later in the year the price will be on the floor.
