tfmorton · Post by **tfmorton** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 4:18 pm

All the usual stuff including Half leather seats, ABS, Air con and remote central locking, oh and I fitted a Voltage/oil pressure display console (and sender) from an early 480.
Unmarked exterior and spotless interior.
Mileage is aprox 96K (Odometer reading aprox 12K miles, see below)

I have just serviced the car myself but before that it has a full Volvo main dealer service history with recent recipts for a new exhaust system, Cat converter, and brand new instrument console (Volvo dealer reciept to prove original mileage and cost of new console -Â£500)
Great car, 100% rust free including the wheel arches (yes- honestly)
All the electrics work!!
I have recently been given another car (from an elderly relative who can no longer drive due to ill health) so this has to be sold

11 Months MOT
Comes with original Volvo RDS Radio Cassette (not CD player)

Â£900 ono (price reflects the outstanding condition of this car)

I think I would buy it if the steering wheel wasn't on the wrong side

The price is reasonable.

Bah, and I wanted it too - but work thats about to happen to my turbo means I dont have as much spare cash as Ben did, so he put a better offer in - he's got a nice car at a really good price

Lookm forward to poking around it at Chris Grew's meet in May

Thanks!

No.... I decided to me one of the more 'elite' 2-litre owners, instead!

('elite', in that there appear to be less of!) -OK maybe not quite the right word, but I can't think of a better one at the moment!

I was very impressed with it on the 80-mile drive home. It was SO quiet.... no rattles/squeak/creaks at all! (unlike my other ES). Oh, and I got an average fuel consumption of 40MPG, whereas my 1.7ES would have done it in about 33MPG!

Never mind, I get the Ford Probe 24v all to myself now, and my wife (and kids) are happy becasue she's got a bigger car (Mondeo)

I hope you enjoy the car Ben
