Freshly resprayed is a bit worrying though, it was black, wonder what might be lurking under that blue ready to erupt?

All Limo's are the pits of bad taste IMHO but this takes the biscuit. Bet the neighbours won't miss it going. Shocking

I like it but I'd be worried why somebody would have a respray prior to selling, I can see rust on the front skirt through the blue paint

Found a photo of it in 2014 when it was still black:

Its only all the badges that make it tacky? The emblem around the boot lock and the hood ornament, the badge (AA?) stuck over the Volvo marque badge and the ''Limousine'' in the back window, all easily removed?

I personally don't mind the window tints
