Just some further info for any prospective buyers - I was going to buy this car, and did the usual background checks, but I've decided that I love my Danish 940 too much and I won't be buying it afterall.

So I just wanted to say that the HPI check came back clean, it just has an import marker as you'd expect.

The car has a dent in the rear offside door, along with some paint damage on that side and on the rear bumper. And the MoT history has notes about the rear shocks showing misting - so the Nivomats will possibly need replacement soon. Not sure if they're available, but you may be able to fit a coilover conversion from ClassicSwede? Have to check with him as the LWB is going to be heavier that a normal S90. Finally, check the alignment of the doors if you view it - it may just be a poor photo, but the nearside doortops seem marginally misaligned in one pic? Higher res pics are available on the carandclassic website https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1457888 Best check it to be safe.

Good luck if you do buy it, it looks fantastic.
