That's it, the time has come to simplify things... my Volvo 264 has got to go. It's a really tidy example, electric windows, central locking, and a throbbing 2.8 V6 engine!!!!1 It's covered 114k, runs really smooth. It needs a suspension strut for the MOT - all other work has been done. I just don't have the time or resources to do it at the moment. There's a vibration on the propshaft which gets a bit annoying but it's easily fixed and not an MOT issue. I'm not looking for much money for it - if you want it, make me an offer (and don't worry about offending me as I'd sooner see it go for a few quid than scrap it) Car is in Newquay. PM me if interested, otherwise I might have to let the scrap man come for it (NOOOOOOOOooooooo!!!!111!)

I'd much sooner it go to someone off here for nowt. I just don't have time or money to put into it - it's a good car and hasn't let me down. You could make a weekend of it and have a mini break while you're at it! ;D

I had one of these until rust and the headgaskets killed it. WHAT A MOTOR!! really shifted when it wanted to. The engine sounded more like a turbine than an engine. If corrosion isnt an issue and the engine is sweet this would be such a cool motor to cruise about in. Is it a manual or an auto?
Whatever you do don't sent it to the car eating machine, these cars are rare enough as it is. I'm sure someone in internet land would love it.

Tis an auto. And yeah, once I was used to it I could really get it to shift! Maybe I'll stick it on eBay and see what I get for it. Cars (especially big cars) don't shift too well down here in darkest Cornwall. Maybe I'll stick it on the Bay if no-one here wants it...

Woah.. that is lovely... have you put it up on the VOC forums? I'm sure you'd find someone keen on there. The 264's are pretty rare now

No, shed suss it a mile off. How much moolah are we talking, roughly speaking? Well, I bought it for £80. I've done all the work on the fail sheet except for a replacement strut. If I can get £80 back for it I'd be happy

No rot - the body's sound as. There's a couple of rust bubbles but it's only surface. And the spare wheel well has a small hole in it (not structural) The body and paint are in really good condition - it was resprayed a few years ago so I'm told. I've also got a folder with every single thing bought for it / done to it recorded (even bulbs and stuff!) - I think the previous owner was a little... anal ;D I have to shift it quite soon, but if you want it and can collect, it's yours mate

Ah, it really has to go before that - I have to make room for the Merc again I've gotta shift it in the next couple of weeks really. If you can't get down here in time, I'll just have to stick it on eBay... If I could hold onto it for you mate, I would. But I'm getting grief for it being where it is

ok, no worries. Its probably best i pretend i never saw this thread really. Cheap V6 200 volvo+ too many cars + missus = lots of grief. whatever you do though, don't scrap it!

No I don't wanna scrap it - Not to worry, I'll stick it on eBay and see what I get for it. I have to be ruthless though, or I'd never finish the Merc

Now on eBayI would dearly love this car to go to the Musee du Bo11ox - the auction has a couple of days to run, and seeing as I f*cked up the title so it's virtually un-searcheable (and can't modify it), I reckon it'll go for sod all. I've had banger boys interested but it's way too good to see it go to the oval - all it needs is a nsf strut to get 12mths ticket. The top bidder is a banger racer by the looks of it - I can't really do much about that Oh yeah, and the nearest port is Plymouth like Ash sez

banger this? is a v6 so will overheat and explode with a steam tank, its an auto so undesirable, also its injection so 99% of tracks wont have it (or it should be injection I think)

He said basically he'd strip out everything (including engine and box) sling in a Pinto and race it. He did say I could have the alloys and all the rest of it back to sell on if I liked, but I don't really have room for it. It would be a shame for it to go to the oval, but if they're the only people wanting to bid on it, what can be done? I can't keep it any more as I have no space. I've made my peace with the whole banger racing thing, and if they buy the car legitimately then it's up to them what they do with it. I just think it'd be a shame as it's a good car

Seems a great waste to stick a pinto in and race it as it would be as easy to do the same to a much more common 4 cylinder model. Only the same as if it was scrapped though I guess.
If you were closer, id have it just for the sake of it.
Ebay is a dodgy thing.. all it takes is a bit of beer and a click on the mouse button.......
