As much as I like my silver V70, I have a hankering after a black one (with the windows dark tinted!).
Just spotted this on Autotrader and its only 20 miles away from me.

I reckon I could get at least the same for mine seeing as its in pretty mint condition and been well serviced.
Do I go for it despite having just finished the sound system (Should be a simple case of swapping parts from one to the other.

If youv'e always wanted a black one and it's only 20 miles away, can't hurt to go have a look mate.

Looks nice, dunno what model T5 it is (ie CD spec etc). Has manual drivers seat, no rear load cover and I'm wondering if it's an ME7? (not seen a P1 ME7 engine if there are any outward appearances) just looks slightly different to my V70/850 engine (no pipe clamp on top hose, no strap across ecu cover. Anyways, looks nice and no harm in looking.

I spoke to the guy yesterday and am going to take a look at it at midday. If its what I want, then I shall hopefully, do a deal on the spot.
Then it will be a simple case of park one next to the other and swap over the bits! It shouldn't take too long, maybe a day at the most. The fiddliest work being the speaker wiring that I need to take out of the silver one (inside the roof line) and the power supply (under the passenger side sill line carpet).
Strangely, the exciting part for me will be getting my DA polisher out on it!

went and looked.........5 minutes later, walked away!
Just too scruffy both internally and externally.
I think I'll stop trying to scratch that itch and finish up what I have started with this one!

once you have scratched the itch, another one always pops up, save for a black v70r instead
