Expensive? Looks lovely though..... 440 Turbo

Lots like a lot of money - but really is a "find me another" original Turbo 440 in this condition....

Gotta be tempting perhaps?

(Usual - not mine, no connection)

Looks very clean, a little too clean for the millage. I was expecting the maillage to be less than 40,000 not just over 80,000

Hope it goes to the right owner to keep it as clean and tidy as it is

Someone in the motor trade demanding lots more than its worth, surely not

Usual flowery dealer language, I cannot condone time warp to describe a car with 80k on it and the fact it has been in"slumber"for a long time.

Ok we like our Volvo's, but this is surely just grey porridge - or should that be grey Gouda ?

Looks stunning. It was a dry stored car since (I believe) 1999. But wouldn't dream of paying that kind of money.

You can find another one next to it on ebay. Cheaper and looks pretty good too. Do all the 440 turbos have the dreaded Disinformation Centre?
I just rescued a 2.0 auto from being scrapped, although I may take it to bits myself to help some eccentric friends who have 2 x 440s on the road plus 2 resting (2.0i and 1.8i manuals plus another 2.0i and a 1.8 carb).
