Description
With genuine regret we are offering our beloved Volvo C70 for sale. We were looking forward to enjoying the summer sunshine, but a change in circumstances has forced this difficult decision.
At its heart, this C70 SE Lux is a reliable, luxury, Grand Tourer. It isn't built to set the Nurburgring alight that's entirely missing the point. It's designed for effortless, comfortable and stylish long-distance touring, combining Volvo's legendary safety and interior comfort with a fully functional, reliable hardtop.
Vehicle Overview
Engine: 2.0D (136 ps) provides smooth, efficient power for the open road.
Transmission: Powershift automatic, perfectly suited for laid-back, stress-free driving.
Reliability: The car has been a joy to own and has not required significant mechanical intervention. I have been meticulously with the storage, with the battery conditioned and brakes kept free to ensure it remains in solid order.
Status: Currently SORN. I am happy to put a fresh MOT on the vehicle for the right buyer. Though I must admit, seeing it pass that test might just tempt me to keep it!
Exterior Condition & Presentation
I assert this is a well-maintained, original example:
Paintwork: The black paint retains a deep, high level of reflectivity and consistent clear coat integrity with no signs of mismatched panels.
Body & Alignment: The vehicle exhibits excellent panel gaps and alignment, particularly at the hardtop junctions, C-pillars and door shut lines.
Trim & Glass: Exterior plastics, window surrounds and B-pillars are free of significant UV fading.
Wheels: Alloy wheels show standard surface grime consistent with usage, rather than structural damage or deep kerbing. All tyres match.
Notes: There is very minor scuffing on the lower front and rear valance, typical for the age of the car.
Interior Condition
The cabin reflects a well-used but honest history:
Seating: The cream leather shows age-related creasing, particularly on the driver's outer bolster, though it remains structurally intact.
Passenger Side: In contrast, the passenger area, including the door card, remains in near-mint condition.
Dashboard: The instrument cluster is clear and functional, currently reading 103,738 miles.
Detailing: Presenting beautifully, would respond exceptionally well to a professional detail.
This is a well-engineered vehicle designed for the journey, not the race. It is ready for its next adventure.
