Overview

I have owned this car for quite a few years and like a good marriage I have had the odd bad day with it but so many good days. It has been a mainstay commuter car for 60k miles
(I now have a 2017 V40 D4 RDesign Pro)

I have enjoyed great drives with the roof down in my native Yorkshire so It will be a glum day to see it go. But the sale will be going towards a mid life biker dream, resurrecting a very missed youth! If it wasn’t for the fact the sale is part of a deal I have with my dear lady I would keep it for that odd weekend summer drive up. However, a bike out trumps.
C70 is a great cruiser and with the roof down and windbreaker (which folds down into its own bag) it transforms to the point ‘70’ plus is not a problem in the cab, oh and with the winter pack it’s a dream drive in the winter sun, fully heated seats is the way (back & backside) 5 degrees not a problem.

Thank you for reading and I apologise for going on but I wanted to be as honest as possible.
£2500 ono consider part ex for motorcycle

Hi, looking for a nice C70 auto, ideally a diesel, and slightly later but interested in a well maintained car first. Only thing is I was going to use it for commuting - whats the MPG like on the T5??

Can't send you a PM yet until I get 30 messages, but drop me a reply when you get chance.

Hi Tim
The car is located in Yorkshire and I’ve done many trips to Manchester.
Mpg on a good commute returns average 28mpg.

Photos will be posted later today

Cheers
