Default Volvo C70 T5 GT Auto £1200 Haydock

MOT December 2020
130,800 miles

Beautiful half leather and alcantara interior - the best combination in my opinion!

Great condition throughout, the only rust (pictured) is at the bottom of the drivers door. The underside is also in great condition, since the car spent many years in the south east of england.
The alloys are a bit stained in places so could do with a refurb.

Air conditioning works perfectly.
Cruise control, sunroof, electric & heated seats.
Will be supplied with original stereo. You probably know that these came with excellent stereo systems.

The T5 engine runs smooth and has loads of power - Pre ME7 so you don't have to worry about the dreaded throttle body problems.
No faults during my 1.5 years of ownership.
Tyres have loads of tread - Uniroyal rainsport 3's fitted all round during winter.

It has the "crystal" headlights and egg crate grille.
There's an area behind the passenger door that has been painted - you can see that it doesn't quite match.
Detachable tow bar included.

Genuinely sad to be selling this. I had to change to a diesel for my lengthy commute.

It would be best to send a private message as I might forget to check this thread frequently.

Both rear wings look a different shade of silver to the rest of the car. Has it had accident damage in the past. I don't mean the small imperfection that you have mentioned, but the whole wing both sides of the car! Or is this just the camera angle!

Yes they are slightly different, but I'm not sure exactly what areas have been painted. The boot and rear bumper look like they match the rear wings, but I don't think they were painted. Perhaps some clever blending was done towards the rear. There's absolutely no sign of accident damage, or even rust repair. The previous owner also didn't know why any painting was done. It's a mystery, but in my 1.5 years of ownership I've found absolutely nothing wrong with it.
On this forum I saw another early silver c70 coupe that had the same thing going on with the paint, in the same place, so there's a chance that the paint aged badly.

Someone should acquire this before I break it for spares. (Would be keeping the engine)
