Default Meet Jez...

Hello folks,

My name is Jamie, I'm Scottish and due to the demise of our beloved 2000 Ford Focus (bad MOT failure) we have purchased a new car. A 1999 Volvo V40 XS 1.8 Automatic, to be precise.

The car has three months MOT, 132,000 miles and is in fantastic mechanical condition. The bodywork is decent, except for the front bumper which was partially ripped off when the previous owner parked on a tall kerb and dismounted same at a rather bad angle. It is still intact at one side and the other is held on with rope, but I am hoping that will be either fixed or replaced within the next day or two. Other than that, there is NO body rust and the scratches here-and-there can be resolved with some wax and a couple of hours of elbow grease.

I have to say though, the best bit is the purchase price, which was £100! Even if it needs a new front bumper and only lasts until the MOT expires, £100 for 3 months of motoring is pretty good in my books.

Anyway, I shall not ramble on and will leave you with some (rather poor quality) pictures of Jez, as I have named "him" given the registration number...

Going from the pics that vehicle should clean up quite nicely with enthusiastic effort.

Loved your country when I was stationed over there from '87 to '92 even made a trip to Scotland while I was there, Camble Town on the Mul of Kintire.
