How much will this 27 year old Volvo make at auction?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I saw the article originally ... unclear what happened about the damage mentioned

Was it repaired? If so not quite as 'original' as suggested. If it wasn't repaired then it's not "in pristine condition", is it?

The damage still exists on the O/s front wheelarch. It's a minor scrape.

So its not mint, but very very good. If its repaired its not original!

I bet someone buys it, puts a second hand instrument cluster in to use it then refit the original when they want to offload it!

Yeah, I wouldn't thank anybody for it. But no doubt somebody will want it.
 
It would be a lot easier if you used voting.

Sorry, I did contemplate that but was unsure of how it would work and assumed the limited number of choices would be restrictive.

I think I've only ever posted twice using the poll option. :eek:
 
This is partly why I didn't buy Jap last time. If it had a Toyota badge they'd all be declaring : the rubbers and the plastics are shot, the engine is probably seized or weeping from every seal, the tyres are shot, sub 1,500 offers, more likely 800! Just 'caus it's parked don't mean anything.

...Hence why I left Jap clubs. Only question though -is it a 2 door or hatchback?

It's just an old Volvo, presumably without an MOT. £750.
 
Apologies for stealing your thunder Ringway but the result is

1987 VOLVO 340 GL 132 MILES FROM NEW
LOT 8
Purchased by it's one registered keeper from Lancaster Volvo in 1987, the car was used sparingly for a couple of weeks when, during a visit to his local garden centre, the elderly owner had a minor altercation with a bollard resulting in superficial damage to the drivers side front wing. The car was driven home and placed in the garage where it remained until March 2014 when collected by ourselves. The car has now covered a grand total of 132 miles and retains it's original battery, coolant, oil and spark plugs. Even the Volvo branded paper floor mats are still in place.The car runs and drives although the brakes are binding slightly and it is a little hesitant to start probably due to the age of it's fuel and plugs! The phrase 'timewarp' is, we think, mostly overused but is in this case appropriate. Apart from the aforementioned light damage to the wheelarch and some discolouration to the chrome side window surrounds, the car is like new. All components in the engine bay and underside show no signs of corrosion or deterioration and the interior smells like new cars used to smell.

ESTIMATE: NO RESERVE
RESULT: £5,250 INC PREMIUM


Results for the rest of the auction, some good some not so

Looks like NDFR was spot on. I must say it's £5250 more than I would pay. Why on earth would anyone pay good money for this thing. Still, someone obviously loves it.:dk:
