Arrow Palmers 945 HPT

Should be available within the next couple of weeks as the scoob should be on the road.










Info

1997 945 SE HPT Estate in coral red metallic

- Half leather interior
- Sports pack! (lower suspension, egg crate grill, tailgate spoiler)
- Monroe adjustable rear shocks
- All leccy windows
- A/C (needs a re-gas... still havent done it!!!)
- CD changer

As you can see by the pics, immaculate paintwork! Im shocked how well it came up with a quick buff as the paint is 15 years old!

Done 159k, shed loads of recepits in the folder etc.

I bought it on 25/05/2012 from Steve on this forum. He had just put a cambelt on it and changed the front pads. Mileage was 156k.

Since ive had ive done the following:

- Full service all filters etc and new rear discs and pads (@ 156k)
- Clear rear lights, side repeaters and front corner indicators
- Pressed metal road legal plates
- Uncreased / uncracked door cards
- 960 door handles
- Headlight washers removed and blanked
- 2 new tyres
- Retractable dog guard
- New 1500 pile tufted car mats with "Volvo Turbo" down the side
- Wind deflectors
- De badged rear
- Flat blade wipers

MOT'd until 24th May 2013 (advisories were rear brake pads and number plate deterioration - both rectified)

Whilst i remember there is a small hole in the downpipe, makes a blowing noise above 4k rpm on full throttle, but under 4k u just hear the turbo whistleing!

Taxed until June or July 13 i think ill have to look tomorrow

Looking for around £1,100

Get the feeling ive missed something :/

Any interest gimme a shout!

And is unbelievably quick for a standard HPT!

I thought it had turbo+, but I never looked hard enough to see if it had.

I hope it sells well, it really is a minter.

It looks like it's lived in an air bubble all it's life!

Just to say I live nr Pboro myself and have seen it about (you get to notice other 740's and 940's when driving)

It does look 100% immaculate.

Good luck with the sale

If yours is the one I think it is I'd seen you a couple of times on the Bourges Boulevard.

Mine is a solid red 740 estate, H reg, normally recognised by the fact that never traveling much above 55mph, on said Boulevard.

Here's a pic from a few years ago - still looks about the same.

I'm usually just trundling along being overtaken by all and sundy, all the Tesco artics along with the various fruit packing HGVs all zooming by.

Smile Horns

Where did the horns come from - they'd be quite good on SFSS...
