how's it go?

It drives very well, great fun on the twisty Highland roads. It's frilly around the edges and there's loads of horrendous welding especially on the floor where the carpet is missing and I can see the road through it...

 

The seller was happy to knock £100 off the asking price and keep the golf.

As soon as I got back home yesterday we set about removing bits from this.

I took most of the bits I needed including the windscreen for my black one then sold the rest of the blue one for £250 so essentially I got a complete brat and windscreen for £50. Not bad at all. I also stuck the 244 on Car and classic on Wednesday and sold it yesterday to the first person who came to look at it.

That Chevette is an ES - the absolute bottom of the range, for those who couldn't afford a Chevette E!  The only Chevette to have black bumpers instead of chrome.

Poverty spec! Although it does have the optional extra heater rear screen but I can't figure out which button switches it on...

Some of these will do for April calendar pics!

It does have some horrendous welding on the floor, it's as if I've already owned it...

Slightly surprised you sold the 244. Only slightly.

Me too. After the initial excitement of getting I discovered that I don't like driving it all that much and much prefer my scabby w123.

I've spotted a local e28 for sale that I'm thinking about now...

I think volvos in general just leave me uninspired, whether it be the older rwd cars or the newer fwd ones I usually discover quite quickly that I don't enjoy driving them.

Maybe the 244 was just too nice and too much of a special edition.
