A couple of possible out of the whole 29 Volvos i found listed on there. First is a rather tin-worm chewed 245 in need of a new drivers floorpan plus other electric-glue type repairs and the 945 doesn't seem that much better in all honesty although the tin-worm isn't so obvious.
Given the cost and evident rot on the 245, i'd suggest somewhere like Spain, Italy or similar would be better for a LHD model or find a half decent RHD in the UK (or maybe a LHD from someone who has done similar before) and not have to worry about the costs of repatriating it to the UK, subsequent registration costs and so on. That would pay for a lot of repairs/upgrades/improvements to get it how the OP wants it. |
I'm not sure those prices are all that different from the UK are they? £500 for a rust bucket 245, £1200 for a rough 940. After trailering back to the UK, first registration and so on I really can't see there is any margin in importing a LHD car.
PS. This is becoming a sizeable thread that has been off on a few interesting tangents - it is a pity the OP has not stayed around to read it :-)
