Have a search on there either under classic cars or search for Volvo between 1981 and 1983... a 264 GLE in a brilliant period gold colour, worth a look!

Goodness, that really looks a peach, only 150 squid too.

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!

I love 264's (can't you tell?) All the best bits of a 240, with THAT growl, and that push in the back when they kick down!

Not sure, but I thought with the (only slightly I know!) lighter engine the handling seemed better balanced than a regular 240.

Ok I know the engine is a pain in the rear, and the redblock is better in so many ways, and I probably wouldn't trust one as an everyday car, but you'll never park next to another one!

A bit like a swedish alfa romeo; sounds awesome, go's like stink, a bit special but slightly flawed and fiddly!

Makes me want to get the 262 finished so I can scrape the chicken sh*t off mine and get it fixed up. Same colour but big bumper (& a knackered engine).

Cat C?
£1000 repair cost? eh?

All I can see from the photo's is a piece of trim missing and a small rust hole in the spare wheel well!

It's even got the wheel centres in the foot well, rocking horse poo!

Auction up at 12pm tomorrow...........

Somebody please!

What a good looking car,would be worthwhile just as an investment maybe?They are becoming rarer with the correct engine.
I just wish I could see more as when I looked for it I spent ages looking and couldn't find it!Any more precise info on were to look ie page number would be very much appreciated.

Regards Brian.
