Red '89 car King's Lynn on eBay

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Seems to have very low miles, but as I know all too well, it could be a broken speedo :shock:

What do you think? Seems too good to be just a parts car

Back in 2005 the mileage was 55490, So I'd suspect replacement dashboard.

went off the road around 2009. Looks to be a little bit of arch grot, and the paint has suffered but doesn't look un-saveable....

Interesting aftermarket sunroof too, but cracked rear light.

However, given the car has no MOT and they're asking £650, I think it'll be destined for the crusher... :cry:

Half tempted to make an offer to insure that it's parts can be kept and not turned into a cube, but then I just don't have the space :? :cry:
