He's only gone and bought it !!

[KpMrJ]

Well after viewing the other night, I parted with my reddies and bought this................................



2.0ltr injection, 5 speed, previous owner was a vicar ;D High miles but SO clean its unbeleivable.

So do I go the whitewalls/trim rings/lowering route or slam it and add a set of T5 alloys !!! Either way it'll end up with clear lenses on the front and sides !!

To say I'm well chuffed is an understatement

[Grahamini]

Bet your neighbours aren`t chuffed - looks like you`re taking up half of their parking space !

Nice motor though

[Benmarina16v]

;D Excellent buy! I say slam it, and T5 loys!

This is outside the current owners house, luckily I have allocated parking at my gaff, although I don't know if it'll fit in the space ;D

[HoTWire]

Good work!

Wide steels and white walls!

Of course it's big, what d'you think the designers of the titanic did after the ship went down? ... hmmm de sheepsh are haard to make, we do de beeg carsh instead ja?

[GJM]

sweeeet you cannot beat a good old 4 wheeled tank to play chicken with ya milionaire neighbours with ;D
Had a look around some of the 240 modding websites? they do look really good with some modern Volvo alloys, I also saw some clear indicators for them somewhere, cant remember where.
Sheesh, I'm jealous! I want one! ;D Good luck with it bud

[impmann]

I think it was Clarkson who reckoned that Volvo was started by de-mobbed Sweedish military, and that it was run as a charity to support ex-tank drivers... ;D

Cool ride, tho. I have designs on one myself - they make excellent tow vehicles! And it means I can park like everyone else on this road (by feel) without fear of damaging anything else.

As for rims... T5 cool. Or how about GLT 5-spoke alloys with the centres blacked and the rims polished?

Fire-damaged T5 with good alloys and perhaps an engine swapsie? ;D

[ritch]

lowered, T5 alloys and clear indicaters

[Keefy]

excellent purchase Sir!
T5 alloys are a necessity imo.

wheels & interior, and for clear front indicators, jpstyling.com has ten for €40 a pair. I can't find rears though, I'd buy some if I could.

[BenzBoy]

That's one cool barge! Well done!
Ultra-low, steelies, smoothed.... sorted IMHO.
Reckon some subtle engine tweaks / transplant would be cool....
Been thinking about 240s too... but I don't have space for another barge
Oh, and please forgive the subliminal message.... it has to be said.... ;D

[wagoneer]

[Shortcut]

I take it the T5 motor drops right in?

[jizzy gillespie]

YES!



but it really needs an externaly mounted oil cooler ;D

I thought I would be a fan of those wheels ..... but for some reason I'm really not.

They look too modern for the car IMHO.
