Does seem to be a very honest description - something often lacking in listings these days!

I'd say dump that Pierbug carb, bleed the brakes and you'd be near enough there in having a sweet running and stopping car.

Lots of bidders/bids, possibly dealers looking to flip it for a NLE.
I guess it will be north of 6K at the death.

For a motor the vendor admits has dodgy filler in it, the reserve must have been very high for what it is, or I may just have to revise my expectations😀

I think it is the vendor who has to revise their expectations.

Whilst that example does look period correct and unmolested - close inspection would reveal the body to need some extensive work. Rust is weeping through the paint and white hides all the imperfections so they don't show in photographs. It will be very rough in person and close up and will require a full body restoration. By the time the restoration work has been done that will be a very expensive car.

Only a cock’s stride from Stowmarket ! I know,I know!🧐

I’m not looking, I’m not looking………

Mmmm, as I’m already under heavy fire for having an old dead 940 on the drive from t’other half, the mere thought of adding to it makes one quiver 😀😀

On the other hand it does look rather fetching, now could I swap it to my daily 940……. Expect it will fetch a few ££.

Cheers

Presumably resprayed too, having had new arches and other bits of bodywork.
So it might be easier to actually keep red rather than pre-pink!

Aye it looks as if it’s had some paint my word.
A lot of brass spent , I reckon.

Looks like the seller is a Volvo nut going by the other items he has sold.
