850 tdi - there are a couple for sale atm. One one here iirc.

Cheers, Morgan

PS I'd always recommend a T5 , but finding a good one at reasonable money would be tricky.

Think I might know someone selling one

Just distance mate ,on looking around I'm guessing theres no such thing as a cheap Volvo ? As I'm now finding out why mines was so cheap! But as stated its a keeper ,might look at a bucket from other manufacturer its just for daily grind as biten by Volvo bug was hoping to keep it all Volvo if you like ,but think cost may be prohibitive, and discovering how naive ii was with c70 ��

Fair enough, fella.

If you change your mind just give us a shout.
It's a good-un, like. Never let me down and surprisingly quick for an old oil burner.

Sales thread in "Cars for sale" toward the bottom of the forum main page.

I thought that after I seen it up too ,guess I should have previewed it before posting lol ,going by the on road handling ,I think it would be pretty scary off road lol, as much as i liked going sideways in my trusty mk2 escort don't fancy it much in a c70 ,thanks for input nonetheless guys cheers john

I'm thinking of taking the C70 off my wife , she keeps scratching the front end on high kerbs, rocks, walls, OAP's ,trees, oil rigs, .... Pretty much anything she can find that is over six inches tall.

Lol,Hi orca2 with mine it seems to be I park it in an empty field someone will park next to it ,boy racers wanting to race it and generally annoying things ,as well as what happened in o/p its just that it has reached 16 years old relatively unscathed with good history seems a shame to waste it as a daily driver

Is it any coincidence she doesn't touch anything under 6"?
