Apart from the alternator, that list sounds like the bog standard checks and jobs that would be needed on any newly purchased car - no matter its condition or mileage. With low mileage the interior should be immaculate and that is much more difficult to restore than mechanical items. Don't expect the scuttle shake to be gone completely - they are quite floppy - but it should be improved. Treat it as a grand tourer and enjoy.

C70 Scuttle Shake
Update.....just had the car in at a Volvo specialist. Had loads done but needed a new engine mount and gearbox mount. Scuttle shake is much better now.....bank balance is not!

Update
New brake discs, pads, calipers, alternator, cambelt and associated bits, engine and gearbox mount. Brilliant job by Avalon Cars of Northampton. The bill was a bit of a shock! Ho hum!

Got the car back now and what a difference! Certainly the scuttle shake is better - I think a new engine and gearbox mount has made a huge difference....still a bit wobbly but I can handle that! The job sheet was extensive with many new parts mainly revolving around brakes, alternator and of course the cambelt which was the number 1 job. Avalon Cars of Northampton were fantastic. Event wash and valet included!
