For sale on behalf of a friend (who I recently sold this car to! )

The fairly famous and magazine featured black Volvo 360 turbo is up for sale.

Hole-sawed front bumper for increased intercooler flow, and looks badass, lol
NO visible rust at all, seems a hell of a strong shell.


1986 D-reg, no T+T, but cant see anything it should fail on, but he dont care, wants it gone.
Drives perfectly, infact I have drove it for about 150miles non stop without it missing a beat.
This did belong jointly to me and Greig for a couple of months (still in Greigs name on V5) while we fabricated a few bits (not included) but recently sold it to a mate.
He has been using it as a daily (5mile round trip a day) for a while, but T+T has ran out now and he works 6-6 so has no time to do anything with it, jus wants it gone.

Car located in Cheltenham/Churchdown, Gloucestershire.

£500 NO OFFERS, as he is making a loss on it even as that, paid £900 for this a few months ago, and its better now than it was, just no T+T now.

Such a bargain! Always did look good on dark wheels. Good luck with the sale

Funnily enough, I have just re-read the copy of PPC that this car was featured in, and I must say, I'm really tempted, but little things like the mortgage, a toddler and paying off Christmas all get in the way Saying that , when I showed my wife, she didn't say " your not having one of those again " but actually commented that Cheltenham wasn't that far away from us !!

Just out of interest, who did you insure this with ? and did declaring all the mods cause any problems ?

I'm off to go and see how much money I can find down the back of the sofa !!

£500!? ZOMG!!! WANTS! I LOVE this car

lovely car and a bargain at that price
just a cheeky little question
can me a show were the hydraulic handbrake has been mounted
ive got an idea just like to see what others have done
cheers mat

fancy a part exchange for a red 3dr 340 1.7 with sunroof n spoiler?

Handbrake is right next to normal handbrake,closer to driver,you can just make it out in the magazine pictures

oh i thanks mat

whats the likely hood of a delivery being possible?

Would it be a little risky buying this car with NO MOT, especially with all the modifications it has had done, its far from standard under the hood and without a working knowledge of what has been uprated replaced I wouldnt know where to start..?

If only it had 12months test, i'd bite the hand off and be over tomorrow with the cash..

Slightly thirstier than what i was after but i wouldnt want to spoil a nice standard car just for the drifting scene.. too nice a cars to molest one for no reason other than that..

If its close, go and have a look round it is the best way.
Its not a super-practical daily anyway really is it?
more of a track car.
No interior, its gonna be a bit cold and a bit noisy for commuting of any distance. Welded dif for winter rounabout fun on the way there and back though. WINZ.
