Title: Volvo 1800ES..
Post by: aaronjb on 24 February 2015, 16:05:00
There was a Volvo 1800ES posted from eBay a while back - anyone remember if these are the same pictures? I want to say they are but with a different seller..

Same car, same seller.  :y 

I'd have thought Lord Opti would have snapped this up by now, so you'd better get in there quick before the old boy wakes up!!  :D  ;D

I'd much rather have the saloon.. But they are an order of magnitude more expensive (funny that!)

You could pretend to be Simon Templar. Every woman you meet will have her knickers about her ankles in wanton anticipation. :)

All the Halo-balancing would get a bit tedious, though, as would laundering all those white suits. How many knickers around how many ankles, again? ;D
