Smile Volvo 240 GL Estate For sale 7 seat 128k

Volvo 240 GL





Lots more photos can be seen here https://www.flickr.com/photos/939280...7644356301324/

This is my Volvo 240 that is now for sale, she is a 1990 GL 2ltr 5 speed manual, 128k, 2 owners.
I have owned, worked on and rebuilt 240s most of my life and I know them quite well, I know where they rot and I can say this is a good one! she has never been welded and does not need any now, the body and structure is very sound for her age with only minor marks/scratches typical for age. She has only done 128k and engine is healthy (I have done a compression test and all were very good) and sounds fine when running. gearbox/axle etc all good, inside is good for age, clean and tidy and looks nice in black cloth and has the 7 seat option.
She has been stored under cover for the last 10 years as needed a bigger car for towing reasons so this was parked up with the idea that it was there if/when needed. I like the 240s and sad to let her go but space needed.
This would make a very easy project for someone, a weekend or 2 would see her on the road, I have had a good look around and under and from what I can see for Mot she needs Tyre's, brake pads and possibly brake flexies, and just a general look over like new set of plugs and timing belt would be a good idea. I have given it a oil change and starts and runs/drives fine.
I may be able to help with delivery if required
I keep doing bits and pieces to her and i may MOT it myself at some point but dont really have the time, I could break it for parts but it seems a shame to brake such a solid example.
Any questions let me know
Cheers

Hi Purplemk,
I have one in this colour but this one may be in better condition hence I'm tempted.
What are the rear arches like?.......................I'm near Evesham, Worcs.

Without removing the rubber it looks ok, one small rust patch I can see behind on passenger side about size of 50 pence. In Kings Lynn Norfolk.
