Well sadly after four half years of ownership I'm chopping in my beloved S70 for a newer model.

So what's it like? - Well it's not "slammed" or been "hit with a stick" it's not been "Eibeched" or "Momoed", it hasn't been chipped, it hasn't even had new rims or matching eyebrows on the front.
No NOS, no drilled and grooves fitted, neither after-market ICE nor even a hitch to the rear- so why would you want it?
Actually because of all of the above! It is, as Amanda Holden would say, “bl**dy brilliant!”
It’s not a Friday Night Curry car or a Sunday Roast Sizzler, it’s a Steak and Kidney Pie car that stops and starts, gets up and goes, warms your bum in the winter with heated seats and cools your face in the summer with air con and pumps some serious bass through it’s sound system.
30mpg, manual box and 2.5ltrs mean this is an enjoyable and relaxing way to travel and yet can still hitch it’s skirts when asked and not a flicker from the BIB.
Used daily and now with 140k mls, utterly reliable, always very well maintained and serviced she has been a delight to own.
Throw the kids in the back, strap the wife in the front, the gear in the huge boot and you’re ready to go.
One previous owner, 12 months MOT, Tax till Aug’12 Full Service history to date, new Pirellis all round; you don’t need to spend a penny or touch this car again till service time next year.
A difficult car to value with prices all over the place from dogs to concours. I'd really like £1,000 but for a quick sale £850 which I think would be fair and a bargain for someone.
Call for full details, plenty of pics above.

Look forward to hearing from you - Carsie
