Well after having this car, for several years, as a back up car I have decided to finally sell the car on to someone who will actually use it.
The car is a Red Volvo 340 GL 17 3 door
In the last 10,000 miles it has had new shock absorbers all round as well as new discs and new rear cylinders and the front calipers were rebuilt with new seals.
The exhaust was replaced complete and the front wheel bearings were replaced. It has tyres with lots of tread circa 7mm. The front tyres are michellin classics whlie the rears are bridgestone. The rear tailgate struts were also replaced as I got sick of having the tailgate fall on my head.
The volvo comes with the original stereo as well as a later adaptor to fit a smaller radio.
The car also has an interesting registration plate which can be seen in the attached photos. The car has completed 156,000 miles the engine is running bosch multi point spark plugs and 8mm ignition leads on it. The clutch was replaced with a valeo clutch circa 20,000 miles ago and about 17,000 miles ago the propshaft was replaced! The engine, when i bought it, had suspected damaged head gasket so the head was skimmed and the head gasket replaced with an OE Volvo one. It was later found to be the water pump. This was replaced along with the cambelt and tensioner.
This car has been maintained reguardless of cost as it was my spare car to be used in an emergency if my everyday car broke.
The bad points: the car is from 87, and has a few dents and scratches. The interior has a few marks but nothing The drivers side wing has a a small crease by the indicator where an erant shopping trolley that broke the indicator but the indicator has been replaced.
The car is declared SORN but comes with 12 months MOT
Now all this car for £295 or very nearest offer
