Afternoon all,

Been doing a little digging and have found a little of this cars history.

Still no V5C or service book but VCUK lists a Volvo Dealer history up until up until July 2003 at which the mileage was 1,516. (thereafter the car left the franchise).
The bad news is that the speedometer was changed at it's service in July 2002 at which Volvo recorded the mileage as 53,029. in July 2001 mileage was 50,488 and in July 2000 it was 48,051.
Looks like it averaged about 3,500 a year until the speedo failed and 4,870
since (with much time off the road) which is all pretty consistant for "elderly owners"
The above is much more believable (and likely) than a real 5000 miler.

In reality of course, below 60K on a car of it's age is still low mileage, and quite plainly it has a history of regular services even to the extent of remaining within the franchise for 16 years.

Regardless of this it seems to be in super order and I have arranged to view it next Saturday. I feel that if it is a good as it looks (IF) it is important for it to find a home within the enthusiast
community and if necessary I'll buy it to save it!

I had assumed that this had sold very quickly, and I'm amazed that it hasnt.
Looks like a lovely honest car to me.

Well, last week found the boss and I wandering about the sarth (Somerset and Dorset)

- so I arranged to have a look at the Redline (on Sat.morning).

Was it as good as it looked ?

- yep!

Deal done, Mac's fleet has increased by one Redline!

now I just have to get it back to Suffolk - (needs a little work on the brakes).
