C70 Coupe 1998 T5 GT on 87k for sale

dwc70 · Nov 8th, 2011, 18:13

Sad to advertise this after 3 years but it's time for a change and a smaller car.

1998 R so no etm or electric sensors, just good old throttle cable and raw power like the 850.

All serviced up to date

TAX July 2012
MOT June 2012
87K
240 BHP (Standard)
Silver Metalic
17" Canisto Alloys
Full Leather/Alcantara
3CD Changer with dynaudio and prologic
Service History (Timing Belt done at 64K)
4 good tyres
fitted Mats

The car is mechanically sound and has been kept up to date with the Volvo service schedule some stamps are volvo specialist and some my trusted local mechanic carried out as per my instructions from the service sheet from volvo.
Front Wheel Bearing replaced this year
New volvo Battery

Everything works (and this car has everything) Any HPI check is welcome.

BAD POINT:
MOT advice notes "power steering has slight leak from a component" leaves no drips on the drive and the mechanic says it'll go on like this for years but it needs a mention to potential buyer I think.

Any questions welcome via this post or pm.

£1800
offers welcome.
In Cornwall but will go as far as Exeter for a sale!

Sounds like a power steering rack needs replaced. Mine leaked also for a while before getting it replaced. I bought a nice reconditioned one for 125 pound with a two year warranty and got it fitted. Not the end of the world.

lovely car. Should find a good owner. With it being the desirable gt that should help. Love the wheels

They are canisto wheels, sorry the picture is old, it did indeed have the 18" tritans from new but i had to replace them and being a bit different I have always really liked the look of the canisto wheels on the C70. I think the canisto are a very simple design and very swedish.
In short, I like 'em!

Stuh1981 · Nov 11th, 2011, 09:28

Is that the original dash board. I have never seen a two tone design like that on a Volvo before

suspect he's fitted an 'R' set of dials

dwc70 · Nov 11th, 2011, 14:08

yes blue R dials were fitted, they were in a local scrap yard so I had to get them.
