Volvo C70 T5 2.3 Auto Coupe - 91,000 miles

Mark1Stu · Oct 23rd, 2018, 16:58

I've been using this car, in my daughter's absence, for the last year and love it. However, I've a C70 2.4 LPT of my own and frankly can't justify keeping the T5 for myself. Especially as I'm slowly reducing my Volvo collection as age catches up on me.

Anyhow, I'm really keen that this overlooked model, which for the most part languishes in banger territory, begins to get the publicity and recognition it deserves. With 850 T5 / R and T5R prices continuing to go northwards, I think it's only a matter of time before the C70 T5 Coupe follows suit - one reason why I was happy to spend good money on making it reliable and a nice looking example for my daughter.

I'm not expecting to sell it on here, and I'd prefer not to received comments about the high price, but thought Id at least post the link and do my bit to try and generate more interest in these fantastic and under appreciated cars.

Looks lovely and sounds like it's been well cared for. Good luck with the sale

Good luck with the sale. Really good C70's are getting rare and when one comes on the market a lot of car for little money.
