For Sale: 1997 V70 Tdi CD Manual

[crossaxled]

Due to the demands of a new job and a move to another to another part of the country it with as great deal of reluctance that I've decided the time has come to sell 'old faithful' my 1997 V70 Tdi CD Manual.
She has been in the family for 15 years and a fantastic car in that time, the mileage now standing at 227,000 under her wheels. MOT until 20th August 2017.

Finished in Silver Metallic with black leather interior. Heated seats, climate control, air con, cruise control and all the other extras that came with CD spec.

I will get the less good bits out of the way first! The car is 20 years old and by no means perfect... she is showing her years of service in some areas... the Alcantara has worn through in the usual place on the drivers seat bolster and the lacquer on the bumpers has peeled and lifted in some places.
The power steering rack looks a little damp at the drivers side, but i haven't had time to investigate this further and the car drives fine and there are no odd noises from the power steering system.
Likewise there is a tiny coolant leak from the front of the vehicle, but i haven't had chance to investigate further... the level in the header tank barely drops in over a month, but i want to be as honest as i can to any perspective buyer (if i haven't already put them all off!! Haha).
There is occasionally a slight hestitation from the engine when cruising but it is very intermittent. No fault codes are stored when using Vol-FCR.

The better bits... ... I've been using her to commute to Kent from Cambridgeshire every week and the car takes this in her stride. I'm getting 50mpg+ on the run and the car is smooth and quiet.
All the tyres are only one third worn, if that. The spare is brand new. They are Goodyear Efficient Grip, not budget brands.
All the electrics work.

My intention was to keep the car and spend the time to fix what I've mentioned, but the new job means this is no longer viable.
While she needs a little TLC from someone with the time to look after her, she is too good to scrap with more life left in her. I do have a spare injection pump from another V70 TDi. Its untested, but will be included in the sale.

Price...?... well im looking for around £450.

I'm located just north of Huntingdon, but the car and I are in Kent during the week.

Thanks for reading, apologies if I've bored you but I'm trying to be a honest as I can to save wasting anyones time.
