There in good condition and from a smoke free home.

I'm looking for offers around £150 for all the above. I don't want to break the C.A's up but would sell the other stuff separately if there was enough interest.

Due to the weight they will need collecting, If it helps I'm going to London on Friday the 17th December and could meet anyone on the way.

Cheers

Quoting: Rob

Yerrrk. Don't do diesel....

Pah.........Everybody knows real engines don't need spark plugs

Quoting: Rob

Shame it wasn't an estate.....

Your a week late, I had a 760 Diesel

Quoting: F Body

Your right

Quoting: Andy

Looks sweet!

Are these bad boys front or rear wheel drive?

Rear wheel drive

And its pretty lively

Hi everyone

Here for sale is a lovely Volvo 740se 2.0 litre matted to a 5 speed manual box. Its done just under 130,000 with loads of service history and invoices.

Its MOT'd till July and has TAX till the end of March.

Inside is like new, no rips, tears, fag burns, heavy stains on the carpets or funny smells. The main headlining is new and cost over £300 the bit on the sunroof is the original. All the gauges work as do all the dash panel lights.

It has heated front seats, 4x electric windows, electric tilt and slide sunroof, central locking, JVC C.D player with electric aerial, electric heated mirrors, the heater blows hot and the fan blower works on all speeds.

Outside is just as good and looks superb, no rust anywhere and only the odd very small age/miles related mark, I've seen much newer cars with less mileage in worse condition. All badges and trim are complete all the glass is good.

It drives fine, the engine starts fine hot or cold with no smoke or rattles, the temp gauge never goes more than halfway. The gear box selects all gears fine and the clutch is smooth, the back axle doesn't whine. There are no bangs or clunks when driving.

The alloys are nice with minimal kerbing they certainly don't need referbing the tyres are good, the spare is good but the wheel does not match.

The exhaust isn't blowing and the rear half looks almost new.

At some point its been an approved used Volvo and even the number plate might be worth a quid or two???

The only downside I can think off is there is a small dent on the front nearside wing, the last owner was quoted £100 to have it put right.

Any questions please feel free to P.M or call me.

I may swap WHY or £895 or best offer

A few piccys

Hope it all goes well mate.

Its seems to be pulling around 4000 rpm at 40mph

Ahhh, that's no good then. That could also be why the fluid is getting so hot.

But surly 4th gear wont take the revs down that far.........would they????

Like I've said before Andy if you lived round the corner I'd come round and give ya all the help I could.

If its changing between 1,2 and 3 OK what's stopping you driving around in them gears? Keep the gear lever in 3 and not drive

I Know you wont be able to do more than say 60 but would than not work???

Good luck Andy I got my fingers AND toes crossed for ya

looks like a 960 gle to me.....

Its a 760

Quoting: philoldsmobile

many people will be put off by the mileage, even though there will be loads of life left in it yet. Has that been converted to diesel? it looks like its badged as a petrol - shouldn't have the cataliser badge, and should have turbodiesel in script under 760 GLE

A previous owner put a load of 960 bits on it, IE Wheels, doorcards, glass sunroof, Centre arm rest with cup holders, outside temp, the list goes on.

Hence he also put 960 badges on it, I'd rather it said diesel as we all know real engines don't have spark plugs

Quoting: Cunning Plan

electrics that are an issue on high-milers, especially 21 year old ones!

If the price was adjusted, it would be a bit more attractive, but I'm sure it would sell on eBay all day at that price though..

Everything works apart from the A/C, the drivers seat needs to be fiddled with to move back and forward all other movements work, other than that everything works.

She's cheap enough, I was offered a K reg Audi 100 TDI in a swap the other day and he is asking £1,200 the Audi was 100% in all ways except for the paint, it was suffering from lacquer peel hence I wasn't that bothered.

Quoting: Cunning Plan

It's in stunning condition for the mileage!

Yeah to look at it you wouldn't know.

A few piccys






Yes Alan I'll leave the dog guard and load cover in  

Quoting: Cunning Plan

How many miles?

Much service history?

Where abouts are you?

267,0000 Its the VW/Audi 6 cylinder D24T engine.  

Yeah lots, Its had an engine at some point.

I'm in Devon but I would deliver for cost.

It uses no oil or water, it don't overheat weather sat in traffic, cruising down the motorway or towing the caravan The autobox works as it should and is super smooth. Fully loaded even has cruise.

Quoting: philoldsmobile

ooh, i'll take the volvo please!

thats a REAL volvo, sqwar and solid.

Careful what you wish for, she is for sale.

She is a 2.4 Turbo Diesel with four speed auto. Drive away for £650.........

MOT'd till MAY next year and TAX'd till the end of OCT

As she is a 760GLE she is fitted with everything, it all works apart from the A/C and it tows that caravan no probs.

Looking to swap or sell my caravan as I want another yank

Its a late 80's early 90's Swift Challenger 2 berth. Its fully loaded with all the mod cons of its time.

The overall length is 20ft and its about 15ft inside, it was the biggest 2 berth you could get on a single axle.

It has a 3 burner hob with a separate grill and separate oven, 3 way fridge (Gas, 240v, 12v) hot and cold running water, shower and cassette toilet, there is also a gas fire and a JVC CD player with two speakers

There is lots of storage space in cupboards and draws etc and plenty of 12v lights

I put new carpet and underlay down only a couple of months ago and new vinyl in the dressing/loo area all the curtains were washed, the seating is from a newer caravan and is sprung not foam.

There is a roll out awning on the side.

All the tyres are good and don't look that old, all the lights work and it tows fine, we have used it three times this season.

Its loaded with bits, all you would need to do is pack some bedding and clothes and you could go straight out.

There is no damp in it and no funny smells and I have all the owners manuals as-well


£1,200 ono or swap WHY

Cheers Craig

I'll be looking into this

Plenty come up on ebay,

There is a nice one on car and classic at the moe, Ive had loads of Econolines over the loads so if you want any advice just ask.

BTW whats the story with the one in the pic

you never think about your valve springs spinning round.

Her indoors had an e34 3.0v8 that did around 18 round town, she now has an e39 2.5 TD which is a much better car and does 30 round town

Quoting: philoldsmobile
