I know where there's a 1982 760 GLE for sale. It's one of the first 50 cars imported.

cheers

That must be a very rare car now. I don't know why the cars I want only become available when I can't afford to buy. If for some reason the car is still available in the the Summer then I would be interested in knowing more. Cheers.

The current owner has had it for some while, and isn't in a desperate rush to sell. I wouldn't be surprised if it is still around next summer.

cheers

There is an A reg 740 GL gold saloon started to regularly appear at a house on the estate where I live, it's about 300yds away.
It's a very nice one too.

Never noticed a Volvo ( of any model ) there before.

Must get acquainted.
