I do always question why Volvo felt the need to paint a car in that colour though... :lol:

Theres not a great deal to go wrong with b14s really.
As long as its not dangerous rust wise, it should be a nice little bargain.

3 doors for extra sports car koudos too! :lol:

Get some linseed oil on the bumpers, leave the paint patchy and flat, full fluids and service and itll probably happily drive to the moon. Or where ever you point it anyway.

Think your biggest problem might be............................................ giving it up. :lol:
They tend to grow on you dude.

Slowly at first, but they burrow in there deep.

I think a forum search for
pretty much every former 300 owner wrote:I wish i'd never given mine up.
would bring a very high number of results. :lol:

You got any links to former run pics man?
