Hello mate, car looks pretty decent. Fancy doing a swap? The wife has a 2 door Stilo Abarth, 04 plate. Not going to be ideal when the baby arrives in January, need something safe with a boot.....can't get better than a volvo!! Hi buddy, normally I wouldn't be interested at all (that is totally the opposite of the car i would pick:P ) but they do look quite appealing, ive never had a little car and people always telling me that theres fun to be had with a short wheel base. If you want to post some details and if you can pictures, I'll have a look, also definitely would need the reg for an insurance quote being a young driver. just PM me if you don't want to post it publicly. Regards, Matt Hi Matt, Sorry for the delayed reply, don't know where the time goes! We don't have any pics and I leave in the dark and get back in the dark so will have to wait until the weekend. It is a fun little thing, likes going sideways! Not that the wife goes for much sideways action tbh! Has the 2.4 5cyl engine with 170bhp so it does get up and go. Has the limited edition/optional two tone leather interior as well which is pretty cool. Not the selespeed just good old fashioned manual.....with the longest gear stick i have ever seen, you nearly scrape your knuckles on the roof when you shift, would have been changed straight away if it was mine! Not the tidiest example but a long way from the worst. I'll find out how much MOT it has left etc. Mark |

Almost identical to mine! If anyone is in any doubt - these are outstanding cars! Mine is on 208k miles and is going in for new tyres on the front AGAIN next week... Lots of fun! Then when you need to be sensible, you can fit a full size double seater Chesterfield sofa in the back without an issue - I love it! If I didn't already have a collection of old knackered cars and a deal that my wife gets a new mulberry handbag every time I buy a car then I'd have it just because it's a nice car! Also - if it was from anywhere in the Nottingham region, it will have been mapped by Shem in Bullwell - tiny independent guywhich would be why there is no markings on the ecu, but he is the go to guy in the Midlands and he really knows his stuff about 850s! GLWS - I really wishi could buy it as I'm only up the road in Measham  |

GLWS - I really wishi could buy it as I'm only up the road in Measham cheers buddy, it is a nice car. I looked up the company that was responsible for the cambelt and i thought they also may have been the ones who did the remap, since they specialize in saab/volvo. Measham isn't far, still no one viewed, had a guy who was due to view last weekend, but couldnt get down here due to the snow! -Matt |
