Default 960 mk2 3.0 auto estate for sale

Tidy straight car in Turquoise, with dark grey leather trim showing 204k miles
I bought this with what turned out to be a cooked engine, which I have now replaced with a sweet second hand unit
Drives very well although the front suspension bushes are a bit soft (mot man is happy with them) and could do with replacing , in my opinion.
I've done approx 5000miles since replacing the engine and it's a really lovely car, however I have too many projects on the go and need some space.
Bumpers have been properly repainted and overall the car looks lovely when clean 😊 I've replaced the coil wiring with genuine Volvo harness repair parts (£120!)

All windows, seat mirror and roof electrics work fine, fitted with switchable auto that's lovely and smooth. The leather seats show a bit of wear but aren't split or holed and are very comfortable, the cruise control and outside temp gauge work fine. The factory CD player works fine, I haven't tested the cassette player.

Negatives: door cards are badly wrinkled as per usual with these, the A/C doesn't work, I haven't looked into why , it may just need a regas, one of the headlight wipers doesn't always self park and the rear washer doesn't work, again I haven't investigated it, the wiper does work.

Looking for offers around £1500

I'm not able to post pictures here, sorry

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, give me a call for a chat and I'll gladly send over pictures by email or whatsapp to interested parties. I'm in the Aylesbury / Leighton Buzzard area for viewing

Regards

Thanks, it is a lovely old thing, and I can't think of a nicer place to sit on a cruise up to Scotland 😂, hope you find what you are looking for 👍

Beautiful car! Oddly enough a few weeks ago I saw it on the road somewhere near Milton Keynes or thereabouts when I was up that way for work. I was in my 740, followed the car for a few mins but it was massively quicker than my humble B200F so couldn't keep pace for long.

Such a lovely and distinctive colour, I have only ever seen one.
