Volvo 262c for sale.
 

Hey guys,

First I have ever seen for sale with the updated face.

Says 79. But is this not an 81 face?

Check the pics.

Kind regards.

:thinking:

£28,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Yes, lend me £28,000 tyvm. Give it back week Thursday. Most expensive 262 listing I have ever seen.

Also, regarding my year query, ad says 79 so 79 right? That plate being 262 could an personalized plate purchase. V is 79 if it is not.

From the DVLA:

CMM262V
VOLVO 262 C AUTO

Colour
Silver
Fuel type
Petrol

31 August 1979

That car is a hotch pot. There is so much been modified, It is a 79 with roof covering removed, A-pillar joints filled, Arch trim removed and holes filled, Wrong bumpers and wings, ridiculous centre console, poor interior mods
I do recognise the car as one that got a lot of engine work not that long ago.
I like the price though.

I like the price though. Im pretty sure its a Ozzie Import and few years back.

oh!
 

So I am right - the body not matching the year?
How much can you modify the looks of the car before needing to tell DVLA?
:omg_smile:

Good question. One certainly needs to inform the DVLA of an engine or colour change, for example, but I'm less sure about more minor modifications.

I think that, strictly, one is required to inform one's insurers of any modifications, no matter how minor. How many folk that are running around on non standard wheels, for example, have done that, I wonder?

Just wondering...
I am still a junior member. Been here 14 years. I guess it is done on posts posted and not time served?
What is my next rank and how many posts to get there?
:-)

Yes to the first part of your question, 'NUR71V'; I'm afraid that I do not know the answer to the second. There is a forum user's support thread towards the bottom of the opening page which may help you to find an answer.

Regards, John.
