For sale is my Volvo 940 Celebration Estate. I call it the Salmon Swede! Last of the proper. 'boxy' Volvos before the V70 replaced it.
I purchased this around a month ago, purely due to having to clear things out from my house, my parents house and to stock up for a house party (see photos). It has served it's purpose very well, but is now surplus to requirements.
Mechanically sound, no leaks or overheating. It has the 'B230FK' 2.3 litre, low pressure turbo unit which has ample torque and pulls the old girl along nicely. Always starts - now and then when it is warm you need to give it slight revs when it starts, but it has never failed to start or get me to my destination. Reliable daily runner.
Automatic gearbox is fine and changes gear as it should do. Pulls well in every gear, and is quicker that I thought it would be.
The ride is nothing short of extreme comfort - the suspension is spongy, and the seats are like sitting on your favourite sofa! More akin to an old canal boat as opposed to a fettled Lotus Elise! There is a slight rattle from the heat shield at tick over, but as soon as you touch the revs, it disappears (quick fix, but just not had the time to get it seen to). Something just needs tightening up.
Everything works as it should - including the headlight wipers! Currently no warning lights on the dash. A/C button doesn't appear to do anything?
In decent condition for the year, but please remember its over 20 years ld now, so don't expect perfection: there are marks, blemishes and stone chips as to be expected. The bonnet paint has started to fade and lift. However, there is no apparent rust or rot and it is a tidy example for it's age. NSF indicator sense cover is missing and one rear light cluster is taped up due to a crack.
Interior is in good condition, all solid and in one piece, with no rips or tears. General wear as to be expected. There are some marks on the seats, which may clean out. These cars were very well put together, and you can feel this when you drive it.
Comes with 3 sets of Keys, Volvo Folder, User Manuals, MOT History Printout, Full V5 Logbook (registered in my name and address).
Located in Shinfield, Berkshire, RG2 post code.
Car will be available to collect from mid week onwards, as it will still be doing some tip runs for the aftermath of the house party!
Please call me on 07984 395400 for any further information.
