Default FS (soon) - ex Danish embassy 940 GLE LPT

Yes, I'm really selling this (almost) show standard car. Its for a number of reasons, the main one being that I don't feel that its right to modify it in the way that I want to - its currently exactly as it was when the embassy owned it (barring the B200FT wastegate actuator). My wife is also less than impressed with the austere looking interior, despite the wafting comfyness.

After the air conditioning condenser was replaced by the local garage, the aircon hasn't worked at all, so its going back to them to get them to fix it. After that I'll advertise the car properly with some decent pictures tec - this advert is just a notice of intent

The car passed its MoT a few weeks ago - it got a clean sheet, no advisories. The mileage is around 110k kilometers (about 62k miles?) - I'll put the exact figure in the later advert.

In my ownership over the last year I have replaced -

spark plugs (NGK)
HT Leads (Bougicord)
cambelt (Volvo)
cambelt idler (Volvo)
air filter (Mann)
oil filters x2 (Volvo & Mann)
oil (Valvoline Maxx Life 10W40)
radiator (Nissens)
radiator hoses (Volvo)
coolant reservoir with level guard (Volvo)
thermostat (Volvo)
coolant (Bluecol)
aux belts x3 (Volvo)
air con condenser (Nissens)
battery (Exide IIRC)
alternator (recon Bosch)
rear sunblind - genuine Volvo and incredibly rare
windscreen wipers
headlamp wipers


I've also fitted some replacement used parts -

both headlamps as originals were losing the chrome
rear deck speakers with genuine Volvo ones

Thats enough of a teaser for now, I'll post a proper advert in due course, just wanted to let you know in case anyone is/will be looking for a superb quality, very low mileage 940 with an interesting (documented) history.

I'll be looking for £4k for peeps on here - if there is no interest it'll go on Car & Classics at £4500, and possibly will go to a specialist auction.

Thanks for reading.
