I should have the 2 below cars delivered in the morning coming all the way from Glasgow.The burgundy one is my 1st Volvo if some of you remember that only had 48k miles on it when I sold it 3,5 years ago.Since then me and Greg became a good mates.So now he bought the Gull as a none runner and stripped down engine so the burgundy one is sadly a donor car with still a low mileage engine.We all have to give Greg respect for his passion for these cars.Last year we changed all the suspension parts on his Gull 855 and as all the parts are genuine we know the costs involved.I`ll keep updating on the project.

Excellent - These are the cars you mentioned to me last week, look forward to following the project and hopefully seeing the cars when passing.
Are you doing the work for Greg or you've bought them? They both look very nice condition.

Two Volvos is definitely enough for one man - Hope all goes smoothly.

It possibly is,a few small scuffs on bumpers edges and the rest is pretty mint and original with no rust anywhere.

The burgandy one on the picture body shell is so good,no rust,bubbles,straight panels and original paint,such a shame to waste it.Very tempted to fit another engine in but not sure if I could be asked.
