Default V70R AWD Manual for sale

A personal reason means I am looking to sell my beloved 2003 Volvo V70R AWD (Manual) UK car with only 14,100 miles from new. I have owned this car for 19 years and it is genuinely 100% factory original and mint condition. The reg No. is V70 RRR which will stay with the car. It has full Volvo Main Dealer service history. It has always been garaged, no pets, children or smoking. The rear seats have never been sat in and the car still smells new. The front seats have been covered from delivery and the leather has never been sat on. The oil in the photo has covered 800 miles. Every single document and receipt, including the purchase invoice will come with the car. I also have the original sales brochures and both original keys. Essentially, this car is as near to brand new as it is possible to get. If you are genuinely interested, please get in touch as I can provide more photos and answer any questions. The car can be viewed in Leigh on Sea Essex or Stowmarket in Suffolk. I have tried uplading photos but they appear upside down. Asking £23,000 Thank you. Philip

I agree that on the face of it the price does seem high, 'bbdxxl', but if Philip's description of it is correct - as I am sure it is - his car appears better than new and of museum quality. I doubt you'd find another the likes of it at any price, and, as Henry Royce once espoused, 'the quality remains long after the price is forgotten'.

I wish Philip every success with his sale; after 19 years it must not be an easy decision to make. Any one who buys the cars' only difficulty may be having to decide whether to drive it and enjoy it, or preserve it in a cocoon for posterity.

Regards, John.

I believe it could be a great deal, especially considering the low mileage. I'm from Ipswich and looking to buy a Volvo V70R. I found a nice blue V70R with 98k miles, which is a bit high, but my budget is £10k, so it's still within reach. I hope the current owner will pass this car on to someone who will truly appreciate and take care of it.

John this needs driving, popping it in a cocoon would do it no good at all and what a waste of money, might as well buy a poster and or a model car and look at that, would be a very expensive paper weight for sure.

It does seem a shame that it's not really been driven but each to their own I guess.

It was up for sale a while ago too.
