Volvo S60 D5 with only 35k miles on the clock and an impeccable MOT history.

Yes, it is a little overpriced, but it is lovely and will last another 2 decades.

Omg I want this badly!! Volcano black with the red stripe looks so cool, and ZX had a great chassis.
1.9 Volcano has got to be very, very rare these days. I'm with you - much want for it!

ZX 1.9 is my daily driver. (it is a diesel though) rofl

Still remarkably rot free for a 1996 car.

Yeh I did mean the petrol tbf!

They were really good cars in all flavours and even the trusty diesels aren't exactly common anymore

Yeah, very rare to see one now. I did see a turbo diesel estate about 8 months ago, but nothing since.

Still not allowed to join the local classic car club though (but that I think is more to do with my face than the car TBH).

Wow, I think the last time I saw one was on the day I picked up my new '91 AX GT from the dealer. Sitting outside the showroom next to my car was one of these, also in white, waiting for the owner to collect it.

Aren't these GTs supposed to be a good steer ? Apparently can make good track day cars too due to multilink suspension (I think ?) and low and or close ratio gearing (I think?)

The P10 had the multi link rear suspension, unfortunately they cheapened it to a beam axle on the P11.

Thanks. I never knew that and always liked the P11 and the colours they came in.

I had a p10 which impressed me, so when it was time for an upgrade I went for a nearly new P11 which wasn't as much fun to drive as the old one. It did however provide many years of completely trouble free motoring.

I think, considering the mileage, how long it will last you, and the fact that this era of Volvo are built like tanks, I'd say it's a good place to invest £5k.

No idea whether this was a good era of Ford/Fiesta but looks quite smart (haven't checked MOT).

Having worked at Volvo during this period, these are very carefully made and thoroughly engineered quality cars. As you identified, a low mileage winner!

The Zetec-S was a great car , looked the part and bundles of fun to drive . That particular car seems to be a replica based on a gutless 1.3.

Bulletproof, hoovers up miles. Only big issues can be autoboxes if they are not regularly serviced

Oh ok - thought it was something to do with them ,- is that the 'geartronic' boxes ?
