'97 V70 T5 Manual
I am contemplating selling the V70 T5 Manual that my Dad has had since new and want to gauge interest.
Been a while since I have driven it much but AFAIK it was mechanically always looked after no expense spared but has sat unused for nearly a year. FSH, almost all main dealer. Unfortunately cosmetically in poor condition and needs a respray, has a number of minor dents although nothing dramatic. Check strap mount for drivers side door needs welding. No significant rust, although a few of the dented areas have some surface. There may be some surface rust underneath and around the rear exhaust bracket but looks pretty clean to me. Radio locked and cannot find the code. MOT expires mid August, mileage aprox 160k. Interior is not too bad although door card leather is debonding. I drove it briefly today and engine sounds a bit 'ticky' but settled down after a while, pulls really well as these engines should and goes through the gears. No warning lights at the moment. Some front suspension noises which don't sound great but haven't investigated. Clutch was replaced a few hundred miles ago. I suspect will need a new battery. Was thinking £750 or so. Located near Winchester in Hampshire. PM if interested.

I think £750.00 sounds very reasonable. It’s a single owner so someone with body experience could get into it, or you of course have the option to buy it and take parts, seems a good start point to me anyway.
I notice your Range Rover P38 in the back ground! I have always liked those since a kid! Out of interest what’s it like running that? |

I mean I would rather it did not go for parts, would be nice to see someone spend the money on the body but ultimately I know I don't have any control over what a buyer might do with it.
I am a bit tempted to keep it, but the various car projects have become completely out of control during lockdown and it is time for reality to bite! My dad wants something smaller and younger so it kind of needs to go. Quote:
