Panama Yellow V40 2.0 Turbo for sale
 
So I've purchased MiniNinjaRob's 940 from this forum which means that my V40 is for sale.

Its in everyone's(someone's) favourite colour and is in good but not immaculate condition.

2.0 turbo manual gearbox well maintained.
Approx 135250 miles and in daily use. MOT until march, past advisories predominantly plastic undertrays fitted.....

A folder with all recent receipts for work carried out. Some of which in the past 18 months are:
Timing belt and water pump.
Brakes all round and rear backplates.
Battery.
Mid exhaust.
Tyres etc.

It drives, stops, starts etc as designed 🙂

There is a small oil leak at the back of the engine, I suspect the rocker cover gasket, it's a job to do when the weather is nicer and warmer!

There is a bit of rust on the drivers door and some paint bubbling on the rear passenger quarter.
Also some tailgate damage on the top lip of the tailgate.
Some wear on the drivers seat.

Front speakers upgraded, also the boot CD changer is present and working.

I'm in Urmston.

I have plenty of pics in Google photos but will find a more accessible way to share them.

I've also attempted to attach some..

And the price is £1234 🙂

I saw this on retrorides - very fair price. I hope it goes to a good home. Wish it could be mine :-)

Thanks, it was over in your neck of the woods on Thursday when looking at and buying the 940, it likes hills 😀😀

Totally agree about the colour, you either love it or hate it!

Thanks

Hello Marc,. I can't reply to PM's hence the post here.

The heated seats work, my partner has a vocal feedback system if her side does not work!

I don't know how effective the Aircon is on cooling due to the time of year, the green light comes on when pressed and it does clear quicker. One minor critisim I do have is that it's not the strongest on the windscreen setting.

I can see that the drivers side wiper has caught on the bonnet edge in the past when opening the bonnet
The arm position on the drivers side has to be in a specific position to clear.

The prior owner had new arms put on and a good linkage fitted.

Kind regards Blaine

P.S.I've had a lot of time to get used to the colour as my friend has the same colour V40 for 15 years plus, it's also easy for my partner to find😀😀

If it helps I'll do a straight swap for a set of Suzuki RG500 barrels and heads. 😁😂

I've misplaced my spare set.☹️

P.S. I'm fairly time rich...So if if a buyer wants it delivering after viewing and buying then it's possible....just need a train ticket home🖖

I've also omitted to say that it has Full stamped service history, last service was at 133,355 miles.

I'm not cut out for selling..
