hi there yes its quite a tidy 1 its only a 1.4 gl special edition
special bits are
factory sunroof
alloys
central locking
stripes
i also find that it is the 87-89 models that suffer less with rust
i bought this from e-bay 2 years ago for 99p :D
advert was leaking rad suspect head gasket gone
head gasket was fine just fitted a rad
i also have a 85 mk2 which is giing to be a van version with a gordini [non turbo] engine...should give me about 110bhp

Heheh, you still going on with the Van plan Martin? Would be awesome, I think you mentioned it when we found the brochures. Do you know what happened to your mk1 in the end?

Your old Mk1 went to Germany and did a lap of the Nurburgring, unfortunately a leaky radiator + lots of abuse ended up with a siezed engine. There's a youtube video somewhere if you search for Volvo 345 I think. I contacted the author cos I wondered of the whereabouts of that car now. It's still in Germany I believe!
