1985 Volvo 740 GL review from UK and Ireland

"A bargain for £300 if you can stand the humiliation"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Left wing mirror replaced due to a faulty motor.

General comments?

This is a fine vintage model with no rust whatsoever due to the galvanised body.

The interior is very dull.
