A rare colour combo of Silver and Toscano tan(only two like this I believe). It's wonderfully comfortable on any drive as any Volvo is. Its sumptuously soft, but with sports setup for when you want to cruise a little faster down country roads. It soaks up British roads with ease and burbles as only a five pot can. I believe it came with the optional Volvo Steel Sports Exhaust, it certainly sounds very good, not loud, but burbly.
Strut brace has been fitted to remove scuttle shake so the driving experience is smooth, even over British potholes.
Roof down there is no disturbance when the wind brake is deployed, even at motorway speeds.
It's faster than you'd think thanks to a professional Celtic stage 1 tune, more evident on motorway or byways above 3, 000rpm.
Full Volvo Specialist Service history with invoices going back 19 years.
Two sets of keys.
Original Leather Volvo handbook, manual hood keys (its electric and works fine) and locking wheel nut.

The Engine
It's the 2 litre 5 cylinder rock solid engine and has been faultless and well serviced using only Volvo Parts. At factory is developed 168bhp / 170 Torque as standard, but professionally Stage 1 by Celtic a little more. See photo.
The Tyres
Recently fitted with Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 225/ 45 17Y (94) on all four wheels.
I am the second only owner of this car. It started it's life in Norwich I think. Its my daily driver, so mileage will increase a little.. I've had it 8 years now.
Maintenance
I've maintained it regardless of cost with a local Volvo Specialist. I have all the invoices (see photos)
