Back in the fold TFM´s S70 T5

[The Flying Moose]

Well chaps, back in the fold. Just purchased a S70 T5 on ebay with 80K on the clock for 450, was originally up for 600.

I think I have got a real bargain for 450 quid! Especially 6 months rent and such low mileage.

Out the country till Monday morning so will be picking it up at the weekend.

Looking forward to it

[Jamest5r]

What you done now Em?? bit left field mate but for the price worth a punt, what's your plan's? im guessing it's got the cloth interior? if so the bloke you meet the other day (Shaz) has a full v70r interior cheap if it fits.

Unfortunately the rear seats are different. Yeah its got the cloth interior, its pretty basic to be honest however for the price and mileage it really doesnt bother me. I have always liked white cars and with a little tlc and the odd bit of work here and there it could be a minter... at 79k possibly the lowest mileage S70 T5 on VPC???

All in due course my friend, lets get it home first!!!

Yep, I knew I would find something before October Avon, although it wont be running half as well as the 850.

If I remember correctly it should currently be a straight flange 16T with Blues, 302´s and as its R reg pre ME7. It therefore ticks all the boxes. Bolt the 18T on get a MBC, get it mapped and away we go.

Imo the best looking sweed, and a bargain too.
Well done

Cheers mate, Worth more in parts for sure so either way if its a dog its cost nothing.

[WOODY T5]

The only downer is a 700 mile round trip to collect it!!! Its probably going to owe me around 600 by the time I get it home... however as mensioned still a bargain.

I might have to cover it in BTC stickers, hang on.... wait a minute, perhaps had a few too many glasses of port, wine and beer tonight. Last day on holiday before returning to normality via Ryanair

Haha! Not sure myself I think its an analouge Blitz???

Come on Dean its ex-cop there are bound to be enough holes in the dash as it is without adding a Blitz!

Do u think thats genuine miles, really low and ex police

I have been provided the V5C no and the MOT certificate number. It all checks out according to the DVLA´s electronic MOT register so I have no reason to think otherwise.

It has all history from the previous constabularly too so will make interesting reading.

All things aside however, even if it were 180k its still a very cheap car.

i was thinking that usually the cop ones dont have low miles tho im sure it happens,,, im thinking white s70R mmmmmmmm

Not a bad idea there! First things first will be to get it home and fix all the little niggles which if true to his listing shouldnt cost too much at all.

Could possibly put the Volans on that are sat in the garage? It certainly has potential and assuming the mileage to be true then it should last a good while.

I have seen ex cop V70 T5´s with low mileage, many will have been involved in accidents and left for repair for quite some time hence the mileage, none of course are recorded as ever had an accident although anyone with sense realises they will have had the odd prang during a tactical maneoveour.
