Following on from my daily driver…..

Bit of craic this. Myself and a couple of friends had this idea for a while but they are few and far between in good condution. This popped up for sale locally. Landed out to a lovely house in the middle of the mournes with the volvo sitting in a 3 car air-conditioned garage with a fresh mot and service. He bought it in 2005 with a view to doing a lot of weddings in his retirement but hasn't been using it. Couldn't believe our luck.

Cost us £1800 between us after a bit of haggling, and got it insured with everyone named for £5 per month each.

Full heated electric leather. Conference seating in the back 2.9 straight 6 24v 204 bhp. Drives absolutely beautifully.

Some good trips planned so far inc Scotland in august as one of the guys has a sales meeting he's taking 4 of his customers over to. Gonna get our moneys worth!

[Hooli]

Excellent work, hang around outside clubs & do a bang bus (as said above).

Friend of ours bought a limo... we went to a Safari park in it - the look on people's faces is priceless.

[Shaw Tarse]

Is it very big, or is the other Volvo far away?

[silverfoxcc]

When you say a 'couple of friends' is that two or a higher number.
If the former that has got to be the deal of the century under 700 for that beast!!!

[rehab71]

Brilliant! More pictures please.

[Max M4X WW]

Love it, been meaning to get one of these for Le Mans for a while now. Probably a newer 960 though.

Will check back to see how you get on

Epic buy, the only thing is that if that carpet looks that dirty in pics, it'll be twice as bad IRL get a rug doctor on that and you're set! happy limo'ing

[RobbieKB]

What a buy!

Cheers guys!

She's away for a timing belt this week as there's no record of it being done. Then we'll take into a proper interior shampoo and polish. Pics to follow......
