Default I’m Back!

So pretty much a year to the day after selling my 940, today I got myself a 960 estate.
It’s a 2.5 MANUAL. Yes manual, so happy to have an M90 paired with a silky smooth straight 6! 172k miles with the cambelt done at 166.
Absolute bargain price too and couldn’t be happier with the condition of it and how it performed on the 100 mile trip home!

Cheers

Spotted that for sale - it looks great. Door card tops look pretty good as well!

Yes, the door cards are pretty much pristine, and the back seats look like nobody has ever sat in them.
Going to centreparcs in May and France in July so the missus is well happy we don’t have to take her Fiat 500

Good to see you back.

Every other one I've looked at in the last 2 months has been a slushy 4 speed auto (which I had in the S90 I owned for a few months before selling it to Steve, a.k.a doingitsideways), but the manual in this one is superb.
Although seems to be geared higher than my 940 LPT manual I had previously - Just over 3000 RPM @ 70mph as opposed to 2750 in the 940, and easy to pull away in 2nd.
