Re: I've put my SVX up for sale on Pistonheads

Cheers, I was hoping no one would ask that, Dave. It's a '98, Sea Spray, 3.2. Pronounced 'as flat as a kippers dick luxobarge' by my kids - but, happy days, they won't want to borrow it! Drives fine, very well cared for, quiet, comfy, smooth, handles well enough but I know what they mean - it's no rocket ship.
Seems ironic that Ford ownership had lowered Volvo's quality yet improved Jaguar's. The buttons work, the diff is silent, as is the engine/box (240 bhp). Body is even galvanised. I know that as the bulletholes haven't rusted....
Whatever, this odd and spontaneous purchase has cheered me up a bit.
I bet the 400bhp supercharged one could be fun though, especially as you can buy them for about ninepence these days...
