Argh I tried to private message you but I don't have enough posts to message admins. D'oh.
Any chance you could drop me a message and I can reply?
Apologies in the delay getting back to you on this. I absolutely loved seeing all the images of the car post restoration. You've done an amazing job on it. I purchased the car with no history because I gave it a thorough inspection and thought the condition was excellent.
After I purchased it a couple of years ago I took it to a Volvo specialist in Putney, he was very complimentary about the condition of the car, but he did tell me it wasn't a Volvo red and said he had a sneaking suspicion it was Ferrari red, so he has a good eye on him!
I'd love to know any more that you know about the car and see any of the in progress work pictures. I've only done little pieces here and there.
I've created a folder in my drop box if you have any more pictures:
I used the car as my only car while I was living in London, reliable enough to drive, no ULEZ, and I always get compliments wherever it goes.
It was my wedding car as well so is in pride of place in multiple pictures on my walls. I've taken it to multiple classic events and Goodwood revival a few times. It always gets a great reception and got photographed for a couple of car mags.
Unfortunately my work in the automotive industry has shipped me out to California for the last year so its been tucked up in hibernation at my parents garage so trying to dig through the history is the closest I can get to the car right now!
Thanks a million!
Tom
