Volvo Celebration for sale!

[AJH]

Hello! I have Celebration No 58 of 480 that I wish to sell as I am inheriting another car and cannot have two in north west London (nor can I afford two cars). A relative had the car from new (1995) and I have had it for the last 8 years, so it has been driven in both rural and urban locations. It's a maroon, petrol, manual three door car, with just under 132k miles on the clock. The MOT is until July 2012 and the road tax until the end of Dec 2012. It drives very well and is in relatively good condition for its age.
So, what else can I say? As you probably know it has ABS, adjustable seats, alloy wheels, central locking, driver airbag, electric mirrors & windows, fog lights, head restraints, PA steering, and a radio/cassette player etc.
It always starts first time and is a great runner.
Not surprisingly, considering its age and sterling service it has a few faults: the rear window heater does not work, and neither does the air conditioning. The aerial does not quite fully contract and there is a blemish on the rear indicator light. The outside temp sensor doesn't work (unless it really is minus 40 degrees outside?) and I have lost the front spoiler.
I had intended to carry on driving it, but will have to give it up (sob). I would like £520 ono and can supply the service history (mainly serviced at volvo dealers). I will have to loose it soon, so please make me a good offer as I would hate to see such a classsy car go to the scrap yard prematurely. Please ask any questions you may have.

Is there much rust on it i.e rear arches, door bottoms etc.

Cheers,

John

Hi there! To be honest I had to go out to the car to check it out. I dont often get down on my hands and knees to check. Yes there is a couple of cms of rust on the bottom of both car doors just by the opening edge. There is also some rust inside the offside rear wheel arch -I had a bump near there last year ... it might be connected.

Hi,

Don't suppose you'd be interested in a deal for a 940 2.3 HPT manual estate, P reg in really good nick?

You never know!!

Thanks for the offer but if I could have two cars I'd be keeping the Celebration. I agree there was no harm in trying though. It looks like a nice car.

Regretfully, Celebration No 58 is no longer.
