I've had a black one for sale for a few months and I've had several viewers. They expect a new car and seem surprised that it drives like a 15 year old car. Full history, Rica chip,Steffinson suspension kit and back box. Excellent car for the money but I don't think they're going to be that desireable as the Volvo enthusiasts are a strange breed. Had one guy come from Manchester three times, HPI'd it, checked it with Volvo register and was happy. On the last visit, he comes along with his wife and she said, It's not like the one we had before." So, he didn't buy it!

One bloke mailed and called me for over a week and was near to tears because I was on holiday and he couldn't see it for a week. He does the HPI, checks with Volvo register and I told him each time that it's one of the better ones but don't expect a mint car. He liked it but said it was a bit rough. It was the first one he's ever driven.

So if the yellow one is going to be a desirable classic, it had better have delivery miles and plastic wrapped seats or one of the picky tw**s will find fault with it.

Anyway, surely the M5 will always be a classic, regardless of the model!
