I like estates in their place Steve: my sensible car (Skoda Superb elegance diesel) is an estate - if I could only have one car it would have to be that one because it does everything well. For my hobby motor cars I prefer saloons though.

Didn't sell for £15k last time, so don't get your hopes up.

So the bidding got to just £7,900 and didn't make its reserve. obviously the seller's expectations are much higher, but I think he/she will be disappointed.

£7,900 seemed a good price for a motor car like that to me.

Dunno, if I had an estate with a manky roof and droopy headlining, a custom full length panoramic roof would be about as much trouble as restoring to stock. Big sheet of perspex and some generic windscreen seal?

Not a volvo mind. Butcher some lesser marque.

Cooler than a very cool thing: Intercooler
Since when did RWD Volvo estates have 2.5 litre engines? Unless they're Penta refits...
