We bought this car as a stop gap, and it is now no longer needed.

The car is in an overall very good condition. It comes with a long MOT and 4 months tax. As you can see from the photo's it is clean and tidy.

There are 2 things i need to point out to you:

1)Some body started playing noughts and crosses on the bonnet its not deep but visible (and the game is not finished).

2)The tension on on the drive belts needs tightening (they are 25 years old) or maybe replacing. I have checked the vacuum system and that is working correctly. But as the tension is not correct at present the top speed is about 50 Miles an hour, with a lot of revs as it doesn't change up properly

Once the drive belts are sorted this is going to be a cracking little car. Cheap to insure and tax. If you have any questions drop me an email (Cvenneke@csc.com during office hours)

The Volvo is in Milton keynes

Its not in bad nick the body is pretty good aart from the small creases in the roof guttering from the chain it was lifted with.
The interior is a bit torn and dirty but overall the car is in good nick. Yeh its a 3 door i will check the milage when i next go!!!
