Prices do seem on the high side for good examples at the moment and I think you might struggle to get top dollar back if you decide to sell on when your car is back on the road.
Another, albeit heretical idea, would be to take the opportunity to try something non-Volvo. I have actually been seriously tempted by this Vauxhall. The high price, manual transmission, aftermarket sunroof and the fact that it’s a Mk2 rather than an original Mk1 have put me off. Not to mention owning four cars already, currently nursing a broken shoulder and having to spend £5k on roof repairs to the house.

Hi Forrest,
Many thanks for your input, and yes I have been looking at Car And Classic as they do seem to have ‘better’ motors over eBay/facebook.
Couple in Cambridge/ Peterborough I had discounted a few days ago as they had corrosion related issues on past MOT’s. Obviously this was before seeing the car today and looking at that history.
As you say market a bit static, but perhaps with Spring coming, some more might come onto the market.
I did see that Vauxhall, a few days ago when I was googling Classic estate cars, nice and entertaining😀
Best wishes with the shoulder recovery, and feel your pain on the roof issues.
Cheers
Steve
