Forgive me for posting this here, as its not exactly a performance car, but im impressed with what i got for my money.

Pics:

The whole car from the front (both running lights do work, just the picture came out weird for some reason - the drivers side is actually the brighter of the two!)












Spec:

2.3 B230E engine
Full tan leather
heated front seats
Electric windows
Heated electric mirrors
Electric sunroof
cd player (that i added)

All purchased for the sum of £100

Had it 5 months now, flew through the MOT last month, and all i had to do when i bought it was put 2 new front tyres on it
Ive since changed the dash lights to blue, rigged up a CB in it, added a cd player, and fixed the non working fuel gauge.

Amazing how much car you can get for pretty much no money.
Obviously there is the odd scratch and ding here and there, but no rust, and the paintwork still shines like new.

My dad swore by these cars and when I was a kid, he had loads of them. He said it was probably the only car that you could agree to go round the world in and know it's get you home.

For £100 you just can't go wrong. It looks a bloody good car for the money but I do have a question to ask... does it still have that Volvo smell? Because that really does remind me of being a kid.
