New (to me) wonderful 440
Rather later than it should have been, given this car was up for sale on here, and I bought her, back in February, here are some pictures of my 440.
A 1997 LE, so one of the last, and bought from her previous owner who loved her dearly! Only 37,000 miles on purchase, and a full Volvo service history.
Having brought Philomena (as we've called her) home, I "upgraded" her as far as possible from my previous 440 (who was rather more advanced in age and mileage, but has nonetheless found a loving new home locally, I'm pleased to say).
And now we're using her as a daily driver, and loving her. A 2.0i automatic, she's been used both locally and for a couple of trips away, and came 2nd in the 400 class today at the Northern BKV. She's just passed the 42,000 mile mark.
So, a few pictures - the one with Lily, my 480 GT, is at home; the other two were taken outside Beningbrough Hall, a local National Trust property.
Oh yes, and I have maintained the full Volvo service history - in that I changed the belts, plugs, etc, but had my local main dealer Ray Chapman do a basic service earlier this week to get the stamp in the service book. Pleased to report she was very well received at RC, causing a lot of excitement - apparently everyone was in the workshop to see her at some point during the day!
I'll start a thread in the Showroom as well...
