1998 Volvo V70R Rare Saffron Gold MOT FAILURE in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire for sale

Cars

My beloved V70R has failed the Mot today and is beyond economical repair, so I would like to offer it for sale here as hopefully someone has the time and inclination to get it back to its former glory. It's an amazing car, and certainly one that always grabs attention with the bright paint! I think of it as quite the Jekyl and Hyde car, with the split personality of being an excellent long distance cruiser but then being able to make rapid progress at the drop of a hat. No other car I've owned has had quite the mixture of comfort and performance. its a 1998 S plate Saffron Gold 174K miles Automatic Original alloy wheels (in need of refurb) 7 seater trip computer CD player Alarm Aircon (working) Electric windows Leather interior (not leather & alacantra) R spec aluminium interior trim Cruise control (every car I buy from now on needs this!) Sunroof (fully working) previous owner has fitted a twin pipe sports exhaust I'm sure there are other things that I've forgotten about but these seem are the main bits I remember off the top of my head. The MOT failure only shows a failure due to a very weak parking brake, but the other faults I'm aware of are: Front OS wheel bearing Front tyres needs replacing Front OS track rod Rear OS seatbelt not functioning Rear NS mount needs replacing Power steering pump noisy both headlights are near limit of brightness On top of this there are a few other things worth mentioning: Boot lid panel needs attaching front NS door check strap needs replacing electric window switch for front OS needs replacing mesh panel of front bumper is non original a deer ran out on me a couple of months ago and has dented bonnet & grill insert. Scratches to NS front wing & bonnet no service history as previous owner was planning to mail it to me If I was in a postion to be able to store the car and work on it easily then I would get it back through the MOT, its too good to scrap so I do hope someone will buy it! I would like £1000 ono for it Please note that it is now SORN and has no remaining MOT so will need to be collected. It is stored in South Bedfordshire and anyone wanting to view it will be able to take it for a small test drive around the storage facility I will be uploading photos on Tuesday when I am back with the car but waned to try and gain some interest as I need it gone.
