Default Super chuffed with my new hi-spec 240 GLT!

I’ve had a very good day indeed!

Steve Haigh gave me a lift down to Southampton to pick up the 240 GLT estate that I bought on ebay. It is a very late GLT, being 1990 built. It was delivered new in Germany and imported into the UK in 1992.

I knew the car had a/c, but I was not prepared for all the other extras fitted which came as massive bonus! The original owner must have spent a fortune.

The car has:
Air conditioning
Cruise control
Limited slip differential
7-seat pack
Volvo towbar
Graphic equaliser
Volvo foglamps
Locking wheel nuts
Roller load cover
Boot tray
LED ambient temperature gauge
Metallic mid grey paint (which I’m told was not available on UK GLTs)
Probably some other bits I've missed

There are faults with the car, some bits of rust, and it is certainly in need of a lot of TLC maintenance-wise. But it came with 5 nearly-new tyres, a new exhaust and 6 month MOT.

This is absolutely the best £450 I ever spent!



















Lots of cleaning and maintenance needed under here!




Cruise


A/C
























Ste tries out the child seat!



Diff testing! One wheel was on a sheet of ice










Some nasty bits














Many thanks go to Nick_ovlov who spotted this. And to Steve for the 500 mile lift!

More photos tomorrow when I start the clean up.


Cheers

John
