Something really rare anyone?

Turned up on the 'Bay....

Rare as a rare thing and looks quite lovely. Probably not a bad price these days too.

Love the seats. And the paint is a great colour for hiding all the rust!

It ticks a lot of boxes. For a low mileage possibly second car that must be a real Volvo to drive and to ride in.

The real cost is ongoing looking after it, including finding the expertise and the parts. Otherwise it would horribly sadly decline. Already there is a window and the heater blower needing attention. Such lists easily grow and build up. For that car if it is truly sound I'd get a bigger better garage built. If I had the ongoing capacity I'd go and look with a serious view to buying. But I can't.

All the best to whoever buys it. I hope they don't get the original paint re-sprayed unless that is REALLY necessary.

If only my drive wasn't over subscribed and wasn't totally skint.

Great colour, with air con and a sunroof those wheels look great too.
