Excellent 360 GLS: low mileage, long MOT and tax
Posted: 28 Jun 2009 09:14 pm
As I will soon relocate to Belgium, I will have to sell this little gem, but not without some regret! It is on this very site that I found this car two years ago, which is why I am advertising it here again.
In spite of being used to larger Volvos (850s and my brother’s old 940), I have tremendously enjoyed this car for trips around the UK and to Belgium and Holland.
I am only the second private owner of this car. It was first owned by a Volvo dealership in Mansfield, where it was used as a demonstrator from June 1985 onwards. In September 1985, it was sold to the same guy who owned it until July 2007.
The car comes with a complete history, including the original bill of sale, service records and all MOTs since 1988. It has now done 41000 mls and is taxed until 30 Nov 2009.
I have found this B200K-fitted car not only a pleasure to drive, but it has been utterly reliable too (otherwise I wouldn’t have taken it abroad 6 times!).
It sailed through its most recent MOT two weeks ago (MOT until 14 June 2010) and has had an oil and filter service.

£500 ovno.
I have taken good care of her, so ideally I’d like to see her go to a genuine Volvo or 300-series enthusiast, although it would even make good sense to consider her as a Mondeo-alternative.
I have tried to describe the car as honestly as possible. Please contact me if you want any further information or more photos. The car is located in Willesden Green (NW London).
Cheers folks,

The good:
Very good bodywork, very clean interior
Punchy and extremely reliable engine
Extra set of brake lights installed
Front fog lights
FSH -Volvo dealer and specialists (recent service)
Comes with various spare parts and Haynes manual
Good tyres
The not so good:
Heater/blower only works at speed 3
Sills in need of some attention (though not even mentioned as an MOT advisory)
