It's had two previous owners, and as you can see by the odometer, it's done 32000 miles and although it doesn't have history to back up the mileage, I'm positive that it's 100% accurate, going by the fresh paint on the arch bolts, underside condition, interior, total lack of rust (apart from a crusty front valence).

It's got a fair chunk of MOT left but no tax, there's a brand new and genuine Volvo oil filter/air filter/plugs in the boot, plus a Haynes manual. Also included in the sale are a set of brand new lowering springs and blocks as recommended (and supplied) by ClassicSwede from this board.

It's been standing and the brakes don't seem very responsive, I'd say a new set of discs/pads and shoes on the rear would be the way to go.

Car is located in Kent and I'd like £350 please chaps - no offers!

I need to get rid of it ASAP to fund my new buy...

Thanks!

Remember the springs and blocks are knocking on the £90 door, and they're still in bubble wrap, so if you buy the car, and flog the suspension, you'll have an even cheaper car.

Also... I insured it under a classic car policy with Herts, which was bargaintastic!

I think that is a fair price. All that is needed is a bit of body work to make it into a minter.

Trouble is.. that's the story with most 300's! Doesn't really matter if its done 32k or 100k if wear and tear suspension items etc have been replaced recently
