For Sale Volvo 262C

[sporty-shite]

The rear wheelarches have very crusty flanges. There are nasty scabs in various places and jagged gashes in the front and rear screen surrounds. The ugliest crevices are in the photos below.

 

application of some lubricant it should make a very pleasing sweaty ruched-and-tufted black leather sex dungeon.

Is it just me who went into innuendo overload reading that?

 

Also +1on more info about fake gearstick and pedal.

[robinmasters]

I really don't get the purpose of the fake gear lever and clutch pedal. If you're being surveiled or harassed by the KGB are you likely to get the chance to have a good squint through the window of their car to check it's specification?

 

Lovely things those Volvos. There's one parked in my imaginary lottery-win barn full of shonkers.

Not me, this time Sam.

 

I'm a Saabist.

[Sam Glover]

The two brake pedals are linked together at the pedal box and the gearlever clicks backwards and forwards in a standard auto stylee. It’s magnificently paranoid.

 

 

I’ve just noticed the exciting red button under the dashboard in this photo. I will investigate.

 

The boot contains mounts for sinister apparatus.

DON'T TOUCH THAT BUTTON !

[DSdriver]

Its the "do not touch this button" button

That Commie thing is amazing, good luck finding parts for it!

[Felly Magic]

If you drove that Volga round parts of Walthamstow you would see people running and screaming. It's off the clock cool

Brian Harvey?

[Felly Magic]

I drove through Walthamstow in 2014 as part of a commie car convoy, boy did we create a stir 

[robinmasters]

Brian Harvey?

 

Did the KGB spike his baked potato with polonium?

[Ghosty]

Now you've got me all intrigued about Volgas and the GAZ.  

 

It must be rare, Wikipedia (not that one should trust them specifically) don't even mention a 31012, just the 31011 and 31013, both with 5.5 litre V8s.

 

 

 

 

In 1977, the 31011, with the 160 hp (120 kW; 160 PS) 4,250 cc (259 cu in) V8 and automatic transmission, appeared, for KGB and police use, joined by the experimental 31014 with 5,530 cc (337 cu in) ZMZ 503.10 V8, delivering 195 hp (145 kW; 198 PS) and 450 ft·lbf (610 N·m).^[52] Production pursuit cars, which became available in 1986, were 31012s with the 5.5 liter (with one four-choke carburetor), fitted with a three-speed automatic and power steering (some with power windows and air conditioning), while the 31013 was the same, but with electronic ignition.^[53] These "were quite simply the fastest cars on Russian roads",^[54] and they got just 20 litres per 100 kilometres (14 mpg_-imp; 12 mpg_-US).^[55] Their low-key appearance made them sleepers, though Soviet and Russian drivers soon learned to spot the extra radio aerials and dual exhausts.^[56]These cars were never true production models, "to all intents and purposes hand built".^[57] How many were made is unknown, the last being assembled in 1995.^[58]

 

 

Makes difficult reading but it's there.

[Junkman]

Entirely btw, what's with that there P6 there, all outside Granadaland and shiz?

[Parky]

Lol re Brian Harvey.

 

"Yes, while he was helping us with our enquiries, he fell out of his car and ran himself over"

[DSdriver]

There was a chap who ran himself over trying to pull start an Isetta bubblecar. He tripped trying to get back in once it had fired up.
