Description
In my 2 years of ownership it has never let me down, always reliable, practical, versatile & performant.
Coming from the factory with 250hp, it does not lack power & with new suspension components, the handling is direct and responsive while also maintaining a smooth, quiet ride. Sporting an excellent Volvo built 5 cylinder petrol engine, it is both unique and obscenely reliable, combined with a smooth 5 speed automatic, it is definitely the ultimate cruiser. I have also fitted a tow bar, it will handle a caravan with ease.
Mechanically the car is perfect, having just passed its MOT with no advisories! The tyres have plenty of tread left (4mm front, 6mm rear) and brake pads have lots of life left in them. Only very minor surface rust underneath and no leaks. It could do with some cosmetic TLC but nothing essential. Selling as I no longer need the car and would like to move onto other projects.
