Electrical solution here. Oil problem may be the gulp valve.

Mine was a different color and only had 13" BBS latice wheels. While this would have been a "cool" car for most highschoolers, in the mid 90s rural IN it was way too subtle for my area.


Not mine...

I like British cars but its hard to own one here unless you want to do your own work. I had a XJ6 that I loved but the local shops wouldn't work on. Now I want another car and most of the things on my list are British, and my mechanic has told me he won't touch them.

Borderline at twenty four years old.

1998 Volvo V70xc Cannondale edition. I bought this from the original owners estate a couple years ago. It had been parked in a garage for over five years. I spent a couple of weeks getting it road worthy.

After two years of it, I miss my 240 5spd wagon..


As found

After some rehab
