Sold Volvo C70. SOLD (Save(d) me from Gumtree)

[rantingYoof]

In that case it'd be great to see a DollyWobbler review of this car.

 

Teehee.

That's come from round here somewhere originally.

Ah Saffron Gold iirc. I like it, often spec'd on the T5 and the S/V70 R. Looked good with the big anthracite alloys.

 

Only one I ever drove was a cabrio and I thought it was pretty shit to be honest, serious scuttle shake, I would think the coupes are much better.

[Supernaut]

Hnnnngh!

 

*slaps self*

 

NO!

[warninglight]

Can't load the photos at work, but from the description I need it to park beside my saffron V70R, to make it stand out in the village a bit less.

 

I also had a C70 coupe, fantastic cars, mine was the T5 auto in coral red (Identical to the 90s 'Saint' one) which I loved. Big LPG tank in the boot made it a bit useless a bit too often, so I sold it, and the next owner killed it. Fantastic car though. Could never really tell what way the suspension was meant to be set up, firmer than the saloon/estates which ruined the ride a bit, but probably still a bit too soft. Mine was GT spec which I think had different suspension to other C70s mind. Little bit more wind noise and more 'hand-built' feel in places, but I so would...

So. When do you want to pick.it up?

[warninglight]

Alas I think the option for me will be to sell the estate and replace it with some hydropneumatic and French and not orange (because they didn't do them in orange)

 

I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone on here, can't go wrong at that price!

[sporty-shite]

So I thought it might be more beneficial to swap or PX for something smaller and more economical. Also reduced the price a bit to help it along.

Citroen AX?

Citroen AX?

Three minutes? That's got to be some sort of record!

[purplebargeken]

Most likey as Citroen AX's, especially in blue are bloody nippy you know.

It probably won't, but I'll bear it in mind.

Be a suitable swap?

Cor, I've got an idea... Swap the Honda for my Yellow Beetle, then swap the Yellow Beetle for the Orange Volvo? I like that

That wouldn't work. FATHA_SPORTY has got the horn for the Prelude, so if I get it, it would be donated to him.

 

Always worth throwing these ideas out there, though!

[eddyramrod]

Is there any way of working my Saab into that mix so that I end up with either Volvo or Honda?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thought not, oh well, worth a go.

If you put enough cash in the Saab glovebox, I'll do you a deal!!!

[sporty-shite]

Have a quick bump, because I tried the cruise control tonight, and it works!!

 

Felt DEAD POSH, wafting the M61 with no feet on pedals!

 

BUY IT QUICK BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND*

 

 

 

Not really likely

[Jifflemon]

Cruise is awesome! 

 

8 and 42 if it goes that way!

 

Will now have an extra random number as its working!

First pic - Wast Water?

[warninglight]

Yep, second one is looking towards Borrowdale from the Kirkstone Pass if you know it!

[sporty-shite]

DVLA have told us they'll be despatching the V5 for Mrs S's new chod on Monday, so this will then be surplus to requirements.

 

Offers, swaps or other ridiculous deals may be considered.

[eddyramrod]

PM sent, and no, I didn't offer the Cadillac as a swop!
