Mot expired today, but taxed til end of month, i would drive it anywhere now.... will need a balljoint or similar for mot, perhaps more, i have done over 1000 miles with no issues in the last couple of weeks, no fuel gauge, and a wee bit lumpy at idle, pass window innop, other than that, seems great, even has funky working aftermarket cruise. £250

Yes: Barrow-in-Furness is south and west from you. See you in September! :wink:

That looks epic, no tow bar either! I know of someone who is desperate for an uncut rear skirt if you ever decide to fit a towbar at some point.

Nice car. I hope to own another 240 one day. For now, my RWD Volvo needs are more than catered for by The Volvo 8)

Ah, just back on, thanks for sorting that out, I have done pics before, but seem to have forgotten how....

Anyway, that is her, sadly she only has mot and tax until the end of the month, and I doubt i'll bother re testing it, but will enjoy using it for a few weeks. The chap wanting a rear bumper skirt is welcome to it, i will look tomorrow and see how it comes off, and yo can give him my details and i will arrange to get it to him.

 

The funny pic of the centre consol is to show the weird cruise control joystick, it still works, never seen that before, obv some aftermarket affair.

 

It drives ok, perhaps needs a balljoint or two on the front suspension, but other than that, mechanically bloody good, sweet engine and box, and the interior is fresh and clean too. If anyone wants to save the old girl, scrap money buys it, i wont weigh it in yet either, i will run it, and then park it up in the corner with the rest. Until its deffo of no use to anyone.

Hmm, north-east Scotland is.... well, grey, in the autumn... :lol: I can feel a road trip...

Sorry, I was distracted by your avatar for quite some time and on numerous occasions.

 

Nice Ovlov!!!! Pop over to the Volvo Owners Club forum, sound bunch of folk and they would rave over the estate.
