Volvo V70 AWD AUTO Estate
Purchased to help me get to paraolympic auditions...but no longer needed as I can walk again lol. This had been a brilliant car for me and helped me through some crappy times with my health. Overall good condition, Ive clay bar treated the body, paint is amazing even if it has a few car park dinks. Runs perfectly with no issues and since I replced lambada no fault codes.
11 months MOT
5 month Tax
140k on 2.4t
Mystic Silver.
No current fault codes
No rust
Small dent on rear passngr doors nothing major plus small dent on rear wheel arch...usual light scratches on bumpers.
FVSH up to 100k, cam belt will need doing in 2 years/20,000 miles whichever comes first.
4 great pirelli tyres with even tread all round
Recent suspension (upgraded to R) but old suspension in a box for new owner
Handbrake overhaul and new lambada sensor fitted.
Heated front seats, all eletrics work including detachable tow bar.
Beige part leather inside in great nick.
Auto box and angle gear for AWD work fine.
With seats down can get 12 sheep in the back in even if they are wet lol
Ready for winter snow, towing your lazy horse or just to §§§§ off people with fast FWD cars in the rain lol
£1050 or swap for similar condition manual T5.
Selling as Ive got my 80 quattro back on the road, so don't need a second AWD car...so going for manual T5 for straight line thrills and familly commuting.
Can email pics

Cheers....yes it all went well.....this is despite me falling down a cattle grid a few days after I had it done..I laugh about it now but it was agony for a few days.
Just been looking at the Evo Triangle pics, looks like I missed out on a great day...well chuffed for you all....your V70 looks the bizz
After the second op I was told to get back to normal life as soon as, so ended up driving the wifes golf gti for a few days and then realised how much I miss manual driving, so this is sadly going. It will make a great car for someone, but in the meantime my hunt for a manual V70 T5 has started...

yep it was a great day and the weather was excellent and would have been great for a trip around the orme as well ( looks like you'll be doing that in a V70 T5 then..) you probably get the chance to do the Evo run next year as I have some plans to try and make a weekend of it with some great welsh roads too, when I can work out a suitable weekend, so keep an eye out next year

did the Evo run in the quattro yesterday, nice bit of road.
Denbigh Moors and the old A5 to Bethesda also a good run.
