My new buy.

**siamblue** · Sunday 2nd April 2006, 19:55

Hi Guys and gals, Just thought i would show you what i have bought, had a long 2 weeks looking at cars, couple of R's came into it as well as the VR4's, but i decided to put my family first and go for a 7 seater, plus i know the 70 series quite well, and i have a donor car out front too, so that kind of swayed it for me,
The car is a 1999 T plate V70R in Cassis, aparently it is quite a rare colour, only 2 owners from new the first being the Managing DIrector of Wyeths in Swindon, Hence the spec of the car and a cost of £39k, absolutely fully loaded, inc the 7 seats and Dolby Pro logic sound system,
Service history is full Volvo to date, and has currently covered 89,000 miles,
Interior is Alcantara Beige leather, and hardly a mark on it,
I am going to not play around with this one, only things it will have on her are my 18" Tritons and the crystal lights with HID,
A few more pics,

Gary.

Brilliant Gary. No doubt it won't stay stock for too long, and with that colour it'll be an awesome sleeper! Glad things are back on track.

Poly top mount will be done I reckon !

Nice motor !

Thanks everyone, got her for a steal, can't really say, book for her was £7500, but my budget was £5k

the owner is away for the next fortnight, so cannot pick her up untill the 12th, so a long wait, but will give me time to sort the white one out,

Gary.
