After lying up in the garden for over a year i have decided to put my 94 back on the road for the wife. At the time being i am bleming around with it to make sure everything is ok before i hand it over to the boss. I had forgot how nice it is to drive these cars . After lying up for so long i fitted a fresh battery and it started up on the second turn over and every thing works ok only the speedo was acting up but after changing the speedo unit everything is working.I am thinking of keeping it for myself but she will not drive the reliant scimitar that i drive. So here is hoping that the car will keep on working and the boss is happy with it as she usually drives a fiat multipla and she has never driven a car as low as the volvo so time will tell.

Best of luck to all.
