Nothing to do with me but I hope this finds a Volvo enthusiast, not a Renault vulture that wants its running gear...

Mmm, may be; let us know. Sadly, I do not have the space to take on another 400, as a 480 has just joined my 440

I might but it. We had one years ago, think it was 4/5 years old and we loved it. Would be a summer car though.

Go for it!

The car gives me a good vibe, and it looks easy to rescue and make mint.

As triumphtoledo says, it needs to be saved. In a few years time, that will be an extremely rare car.

A mk1 turbo is rare now. Glad it may have found a good home though...

Seconded. That could have quite easily ended up as an engine donor for a 5GTT. However, the Renault lads seem happy decimating the 480T population instead, which isn't good.
