A rare opportunity to buy a Volvo C30 T5 with a manual gearbox. Powered by Volvo's legendary 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo, an engine that usually powers larger, heavier Volvos. This car has real character, performance and everyday usability. The manual gearbox transforms the driving experience and makes this a genuinely engaging car, especially compared with the more common automatics. Having covered 112,000 miles, that's an average of 7,500 miles per year. I am the second owner. The first being the Police. It must have some stories to tell because they've wiped its history. I have the bills from my ownership but there is nothing from before that. However, if you know about Police cars, you'll know that regulations demand they are serviced to within an inch of their lives. The reason for sale? I love cars, and want to experience as many of the more interesting ones as possible - that I can afford. This understated beast is one of them.
