Default 'BAY' for Sale

For Sale is my red 240GLT saloon, G490BAY

I've had the car 3 years and enjoyed it very much. I'm looking for a change

Extensive history and write up about the car on the forum. Since I've had the car, apart from regular servicing, I've had done the following things.
Replaced lowered front suspension with OE GLT items (whole of uprights inc discs, pads etc)
Replaced lowered rear springs with correct ones
Replaced all the low profile tyres with 195 / 65
Fitted Volvo OE fold out tow bar, unused
Replaced radiator

The car has black leather interior in excellent condition, including the drivers seat bolster. It has the 4 pod instrument console, original Volvo radio cassette. All the door pockets are intact and uncracked. It has a stainless exhaust fitted.

The car is in Ashbourne, has 12 months MOT, is SORNed, has done 153688 miles and has a pile of service history about 3 inches thick

Looking for £950 ovno

077 909 49926

Nick


PS. Best to call me with any questions as I'm not online on the forum very often

Indeed Gary .... BAY was of course mine , I got of Ian Hutchinson who no longer partakes on this forum . He spent and absolute fortune on the car , as im sure many of the old timers can remember . The IPD suspension allone cost an obscene amount of money , and Ian bought it online and had it shipped from the US . As the seller states though , they have all been replaced by standard GLT springs . Here are some links as to when I owned it .... yes it was a minty mint GLT . Would be tempted to see how it looks today .

OK....... The asking price is now £950 firm BUT includes an extra pair of 15" Virgo wheels, shod with 195 65 15 Viking Sport winter tyres, almost unused, each with over 7mm of tread.

It seems that despite the helpful links posted by members here, this car's heading in the direction of being broken for spares which is a shame as it's very good. I have yet to receive one enquiry which I find amazing.

Co-incidentaly, I thought that I would pop in today (hello again folks, hope you are all well)

If it has an auto box I would be tempted to buy it back myself

I also saw my old silver LPG 240 (TNG) on ebay last month - also owned by Mike for a while.

Cheers
Ian

What a real shame if it gets broke for parts.
Just wanted to say Hi to Ian nice to see you back.You have had some beutiful cars and all down to you being a bit of a perfectionist.
Regards Brian.

How peculiare you come back just when your old car is up for sale?
Last time you were active was may 2010.
Just remembered the time I nearly bought your mint condition 740GL estate.Still kicking myself even now .
Just so much attention to detail as with all your cars.
