EXTERIOR

This fantastic example has covered just 56,744 miles with one retired owner from new. The Scarab Green Pearl paintwork, (Code 447), is factory original and looks fantastic with a deep uniform shine throughout. The bodywork, bar a few very light dings and bumpers markings, is immaculate. All glass and lights are original fitment and supplying dealer number plates and rear screen sticker remain. Garaged from new by the one and only owner, this low mileage example is far superior to the usual tired workhorses often seen.

INTERIOR

Supremely comfortable and in lovely condition throughout. The Arena Select Full Leather, (Code A981), is beautifully clean and fresh having never seen pets or smokers. The seats are in excellent condition with only very light wear to the driver’s seat bolster. The door cards and headlining are pristine, the former suffering no shrinkage often found. The carpets have been protected from new by the Volvo tray mats, (now aged), plus an additional second set. A high specification SE example with added factory options and the Winter Pack, absolutely all equipment is fully operational including displays, stereo, heated seats, ice cold climate control, and cruise control. The luggage area again bares the hallmarks of a cossetted car with the genuine Volvo boot mat protecting the immaculate boot carpet. The roller luggage cover is fully intact and the lower storage areas are complete with the space saving spare, toolkit and jack. Clean, well-cared for and super safe.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The highly regarded five-cylinder 2.4 litre petrol engine develops 140bhp. Having covered just 56,744 miles from new and enjoying full-service history, the engine performs impeccably and is very smooth. The engine bay is very clean with all plates, labels and stickers intact. The five-speed manual gearbox performs faultlessly, and the clutch has no issues.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The Metis 7x16in alloy wheels are in excellent condition and show only very light markings. Matching brand 215/55 R16 tyres have masses of tread. The ultra-safe ABS braking system is well maintained with all consumables in good order.

HISTORY FILE

Supplied new by Main Dealer, Mill Garage Volvo North East, the car weas registered on the 1st September 2001 to the first and only owner, Mr Baker. The new vehicle order form and sales invoice confirms the price paid of £22,660 with £100 allowed in part exchange for his 1988 Volvo 245. The car has benefitted from full service history, the majority of which has been with the supplying Volvo Main Dealer. The service book has 16 stamped entries of which 13 are the supplying Volvo Main Dealer. The previous nine services were at Volvo including the most recent in 2024 at 56,013 miles. The timing belt was changed at 43,785 miles, again done at Mill Garage Volvo North East. There is a large history folder with main dealer service invoices as well as every MOT from the first in 2004 to present. The full Volvo book pack is present and there are three sets of keys with fobs and dealer keyrings. Having specified two sets of floor mats, a Volvo boot mat, mudflaps, headlight protection and JewelUltra Diamondbrite paint and fabric protection, it is clear the owner intended to cosset and preserve this car and the condition today is a clear testament to this. Even the brochures from when Mr Baker ordered the car have been kept!

The car is being offered for sale on a part exchange to clear basis as it does not quite meet the impeccable KGF Classic Cars formula of exceptionally low mileage. Altogether a very well-maintained and garaged example with just one owner from new. The car looks and performs brilliantly, wants for nothing and is ready for immediate use.
