Re: I'm back. Well, sort of.....

It seems to have been well looked after - the oil and coolant are clean and all service parts are genuine Volvo (oil filter, plugs etc). It also had one owner from 1996 until 2011 when it passed into the hands of the dodgy dealer I bought it from. The car is also clean and tidy with no evidence of a...

Re: Mk1 spotted....Pics added 9th Jan

I've kept my eye on this car since my original post in Dec 2009. Driving past the house today I noticed it has gone. I'm guessing its been scrapped but it would be good to think someone took it on as a restoration project. Still, we can't save them all.. :(

Re: I'm back. Well, sort of.....

Hi Mark, it is quite nice but not quite so good as the picture would have you believe - I think he probably used Photoshop or similar. I left him negative feedback on Ebay which reduced his rating from 100% to 75% as he only had 33 transactions. The last two cars he sold both got good feedback so I ...

I'm back. Well, sort of.....

I knew you'd be pleased, I just couldn't keep away... :roll: I'm now back in Volvo ownership but not a 300 unfortunately. I took a chance on a 940 Estate on Ebay back in November which turned out to be 'colourfully' described (stunning timewarp condition, superb example of the original people carrie...

How Many Left?

This is a useful site for anyone who hasn't seen it. Simply type in a vehicle make and model and it will tell you how many are currently taxed or declared SORN in the UK.

These are the pics of when I owned it in 2007. Time can be so cruel but I'm sure you'll get it sorted :wink:

Re: Non volvo related, but had to share

Whats worrying is that you were actually on Ebay doing a search for Fiat Pandas and then admitted it... :lol:

And people say I'm weird.. :roll:

Re: My 340 **NOW SOLD** 1987 1.4 27000 miles.

My car now has a new owner in Devon. He travelled up to the Midlands to view it today and after a thorough inspection offered £750 which I accepted. He left a deposit and will collect the car next weekend. I suppose I'll have to be a lurker now, hiding in the shadows watching you all and waiting to ...

Re: My 340 now for sale. 1987 1.4 27000 miles. Pics added 24

I have so far declined two firm offers for my 340, £600 and £650. Given that its easily as nice as the white one on Ebay, albeit a low spec five door 1.4 but without the black paint on the valance, I think its worth holding out for a better offer. It must be worth £750 of anyone's money (well, anyon...

There's definitely black paint or underseal on the front valance and wings. It can only mean one thing - a cover up... :roll:
