Default 1986 Volvo 240GLE Saloon for sale £1,500

This is my 1986 Volvo 240GLE saloon
It is a 2.3 Auto
Mileage - 107,897
Fairly tidy car and a good useable modern classic
2 owners from new with the last owner having it for 18 years

Good points:
New cambelt
New engine mounts
New steering arm gaitors
New mid section of exhaust
New cap,rotor arm, HT leads and spark plugs
New auxiliary belts
Everything works as it should and runs perfectly and sweet
Body is generally in good condition

Bad points:
Needs a few little bits of welding for the MOT (not costly)
Drivers rear arch could do with a small repair and blowing in
Slight tear in drivers seat
Radio doesn’t work

This is a genuine and nice example of an upcoming classic and would be lovely to use as a daily driver.
I started to do the work for this exact reason but change in circumstances means I need to sell it as I will not get round to giving it the attention it needs

Any questions are welcome and viewings
£1,500
Located Bournemouth

I believe I saw this vehicle under retro rides forum.

If I did then frankly from what I saw this is a bit of a bargain at £1,500 and appears really really honestly described and good value.

If it’s the retro rides vehicle then this one won’t be hanging around for long.

That is the post of retro rides

https://forum.retro-rides.org/thread...on-bournemouth

For reference I have never posted on retro rides and I have never spoken to etc the OP. I simply saw it on retro and thought it looked good. I don’t know anything about it however.

Scratch that. Found the ad on Retro Rides. Does look like an honest car. Why do MOT reports always sound scary though! Worried it may be out of my comfort zone with the welding required. 🙁
