Help finding C70 T5 for magazine feature

dbizzle · May 10th, 2017, 14:33

Hello! I have a request, hopefully someone here’s able to help... I'm setting up a convertible group test for Modern Classics magazine, and we're after a second-generation C70 T5 convertible in great, original condition, to use in a photoshoot/test-drive. As close to stock as possible ideally, although minor mods (wheels, exhaust, brakes, etc) are OK. We'll be shooting the feature down at Goodwood. Anyone here with a suitable car interested?

If anyone is thinking about doing this they should as this magazine featured my s60r about a year ago. Good day apart from the weather. Just a shame the the tester Mike Duff got some facts wrong and my name !

They might if you drop the roof, T5 = great sounds.

They all sound good TBH, apart from the 2.0 4-pot diesels

I have just bought a 2006 c70 t5 lux with the following extras
Colour - Celestial Blue
Interior - Calcite Cream Wood Effect Trim
Gearbox - Auto
Audio - Uprated Dynaudio 900w System with Nav
Comms System
Wheels - 18" Mirzam

Car has 68k miles.
Bad bits.. couple of alloys have light kerb damage. Back box seen better days but still life left in it. Small burn mark on passenger seat, easy fix. Wishbone will need replacing.
Other than that everything works 100%.
Got original brochure booklet and invoice, cost 38k.
Done almost 1k miles in last 3 weeks. Treat to drive
