1996 Volvo 960 3.0 24v

I bought this car from Facebook, it wasn’t actually for sale I was just trying to buy a roof rack and ended up coming away with the car it was attached to…

180,000 miles ish and it drives really well, it’s just cosmetically a bit tired. I drove it 80ish miles home, and it was an absolute treat. No knocks and bangs, just a comfortable old crusier that’s still more than capable of doing the job. It looked like crap when I got it, so I had a mini valet done and you wouldn’t believe the ‘before’ photos! There is a lot of video for this car, but most of it I accidentally had the blowers pointing directly at the microphone on the camera so it’s pretty much all scrap footage.

Looks like it’s got 4 recent tyres on it, but other than that, I can’t tell you much about it! It’s better, quieter, faster and more refined than my own Volvo 940, but I just love that car. This one is great, it just needs a weekend of some proper love with some serious valeting products and maybe a touch up brush… Although the passenger corner will require a bit more than T Cut to sort out.

Overall a really lovely and rare old car that just wants a bit of attention.

1 key, no paperwork!
