I'd love to keep this, but I have too many cars still....so the fleet needs to be trimmed. Me, my brother and our friend did a Banger rally down to Beniform in May (benidorm bangers) in aid of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. We raised £1283.
The Car.
1998 Volvo V70 T5 auto. Goes like a scalded cat. Really suprises me and more modern stuff when you boot it.
206000 miles.
MOT till December (and no doubt it would fly through another)
Starts runs and drives absolutely fine. I love driving it and I'm still using it every now and then, the V70 is one of the best cars Ive ever driven. Lots of service history and has been mechanically maintained regardless of cost.
The good bits.
New front tyres
New rack end
Front wheels tracked
New expansion bottle
Brand new radiator (fitted in Paris after a breakdown on day 2 of the rally, cost 700 euros!)
Cambelt at 188k
The bad
Boot has to be locked manually
Interior is worn
might need n/s/f roll bar link soon
drivers door check strap noisey
Painted in Dulux weathershield to a less than professional quality! haha.
Most of the sponsor and rally stickers will be removed prior to sale. We went for a touring car look for the rally and it turned out quite well if you look from a distance. Its not a minter, please don't expect a concours show car. It is what it is.... I would drive it anywhere after doing 2500 miles to benidorm and back. Price is £750 ovno..... which is fair for a T5 that runs and drives as well as this. It is technically a 7 seater, but I took the boot seats out so that I could put a full size spare in. Seats and pram wheel are included too.
