24k Mile 1997 V40 1.8 Auto
 
Hi Everyone 👋
Completely by chance I've found myself the owner of a 97 R V40 1.8 Auto with one lady owner, 24k miles and a staggering 23 main dealer stamps in the book!
It's in the solid brown with grey interior, all original paint (needs a days detailing) and in fabulous condition inside and out.
I've just put it through an MOT and the only advisories are 3 slightly perished tyres which I'll be replacing with a new set, some discoloured indicator bulbs and the headlight reflectors slightly deteriorated.
As I'm intending on getting this car to A1 condition I'll be putting it through another MOT to get a clean pass with no advisories so I'll be needing a pair of headlights, so far I've failed to find any brand new RHD H4 lights, I want to keep the car completely original so I don't want to convert it to facelift twin bulb lamps.
I'm presuming I'll end up ordering a pair of new LHD lights and swapping the lenses for my originals unless anyone here has got a pair of good RHD lights?
I'm looking forward to sharing my progress on this car as it really is a little gem 😊

Nice find on the V40! Gave me an idea about the headlights on my S70 too, LHD lights seem pretty numerous on the aftermarket.

Glad my idea has helped you out, always a nice feeling 😊
