1997 Volvo V90

• Stored in a covered garage
• MOT valid until May 2027

The Appeal

The Volvo V90 was the final chapter of the traditionally styled Volvo estate, and acts as a grand finale to the much-loved, if not genuinely iconic, lineage. It's a car that ticks plenty of boxes - real grand-touring comfort, legendary Swedish build quality and a unique ability to lug loads. Families, small enterprises and more - these machines were the perfect car for them all.

This 1997 example has benefited from a comprehensive programme of recent mechanical work spanning the steering, suspension, braking and ancillary systems. The vendor describes the straight-six engine as very smooth and quiet, with no knocks or bangs, and reports that the car is a pleasure to drive. With an MOT valid until May 2027 and all that recent work behind it, it's bound to prove an impressive, eminently drivable classic.
