360 GLE - £650 in 2019 340 - £Free in 2017 (but now needing a lot of work) 850 T-5 - £500 in 2014 850 T-5 - £350 in 2018 850 TDI - £300 part ex in 2018 440 GLT 2.0i - £100 in 2015 (but now needing work) 460 CD 2.0i - £Free in 2016 (but now needing work) 460 CD 2.0i Auto - £160 in 2018 (but needing an auto box) 440 TD - £Free in 2020 440 1.6i - £200 in 2021 V40 2.0 Sport Lux - £150 in 2019 I doubt the 400 series will be worth much, but they will be rare. My two T-5s I'm dead set on keeping as I can see these going for a fair bit in years to come. I do think the T-5Rs will be Sierra Cosworth money in a good few years. It's all subjective though, as I doubt I'd sell mine. Volvos just get under your skin! I was looking at Skoda Rapids last week in fact, would love a convertible. Have never seen one in the flesh never mind driven one though.

You've certainly got quite a fleet there!
Having been there, T-shirt etc in the past at a similar age/circumstances my advice would be to work out which you want to keep long term for whatever reason. round up the others and sort out what each needs, either do it to make it roadworthy or sell "as is" for a short resto project and make as much as you can from the sale of the ones that aren't keepers to finance sorting the keepers how you want them. I made the mistake of hanging on too long to my fleet without doing anything and then found most were past terminal in terms of tinworm and one even had a siezed engine through sitting too long. Also it's often better to have a clear-out and then use the proceeds to improve what's left rather than sitting staring at the whole fleet not knowing where to even think about starting! I drove a few Skoda Rapides when they were new, not bad cars, quite nippy and the 1300 was much better than the 1200 but they are definitely quirky cars. I'd suggest having a good look at them and maybe driving a few with a view to buying if you are serious - be warned though, they are very tail-happy in the wet and once they go, all the weight pulls them wherever the back end is heading! Useful for climbing icy hills though as all the weight is over the back wheels so you can drive up rather than having to reverse like with FWD cars! Put a couple of sandbags in the front so the front wheels actually steer and you might have a winner!

I am hoping it'll go back on the road, however if it ultimately doesn't, I will break it for parts. Thanks, Joseph
