I have now purchased a 2002 S60 from the garage that does all my servicing so now although the MOT is until 27 August I need to remove it from my ownershi by the 20th for insurance purposes.

As a bonus to a new owner there is about 3/4 tank of petrol - at least 200 miles worth as I had just filled up before the MOT. If I had the time (and the knowledge/ability) I would identify the source of the oil leak myself as that is the bit that would cost the most - finding it

Easiest contact is on alanlflower@hotmail.com

Classic Volvo 940 rare saloon model. This is a 1993 Volvo 940 SE Saloon; 2 litre; non-turbo; auto, 235 thousand miles believed genuine with a full service history this last 10 years and some from 1993 onwards.
Last 10 years has always been maintained by Independent Volvo Specialist where, until this year, all adviseries have been dealt with except for an oil leak. This leak has been there since my purchase 10 years ago but I have never had to top up between annual services. It is only the change in MOT regs that has made this a fail and I do not feel competent to find it myself nor able to afford for the garage to go through the procedure of finding it.
The car is still thoroughly reliable and I would have had no hesitation in driving it to Lake District in October and Scotland next April.
My garage offered me a deal I could not refuse on a 2002 S60 so, although the 940 is Mot’d until 27 August hence legally driveable (with your own tax and insurance), I need it gone by the 20th to satisfy my insurance.
Can be viewed, collected from BS22 (Worle) not far from junction 21 of M5
As a bonus to new owner there is still half a tank of fuel at the moment. (5 August)
Due to a 'non-show' from someone on this site it will be first come first served. Offers considered from anyone aiming to keep it intact.

Default Classic Volvo 940 now sold

My thanks to the members here for their encouraging remarks. My much loved Volvo 940 has now been bought by an enthusiast in Swansea who has already got it through its MOT.

Looking forward to pics and introduction! I’m on my third two litre 7/900 series at present, I keep wondering if the B200 cars will end up with a cult following...slow and steady wins the race etc!

Great to hear you and Alf saved the car and you got it through the MOT.
