I know the 400 section is commonly quite quiet, and I'm not usually one to post screeds and screeds, despite having a desire to do so. However, it got me thinking, and I am also procrastinating from doing my uni work (at half twelve), but anyhoo. I'll start with what I currently have, what condition they are currently in, and what the future holds...

1994 Volvo 440 GLT 2.0i - bought from this forum in 2015, a lovely little car in burgundy red with the black half leather. Sadly failed its MoT in 2015, however still on my grandfather's driveway. It is hoped it'll see the road again.

1994 Volvo 440 L 1.6i - bought from a friend after I'd sourced it for him a few months prior, and known to this forum. Used by my brother as his family transport whilst his Vauxhall Meriva was off the road. Dark blue with grey cloth, probably the most basic 440 I've ever seen - not even a sunroof nor heated seats. Snapped timing belt last year, it is currently in a garage for a new belt (presumed no engine damage) and a fresh Mot. Despite being registered and owned by myself, I've never driven this one...

1994 Volvo 460 CD 2.0i Auto - bought back in 2016, and literally saved from the scrap yard (it was on the truck going to the crusher when I stepped in), gold with black half leather. Sadly needs an auto box, which I am on the lookout for. In my lock up garage, hibernating

1996 Volvo 440 TD - bought from this forum in early 2020, again saved from the scrap yard. Never been on the road in my ownership, the last test having expired in 2013. I hope to dig this out and see how it would fare in an Mot this summer. Hibernating in my other lock up, I cannot imagine there will be many/any 440 TDs left...

1996 Volvo 460 CD 2.0i - Black with FULL leather. Parked outside my lockup garage, hopefully I'll get round to this one too, in time...


So, I hope that's all ok to post, a rough steer on the little Volvos I have.
