Vehicle Overview
Description
Offered for sale is a now incredibly rare Volvo 460 S. Purchased new in 1995, it is an unmodified 1 owner car, as it came from Volvo. A vanishingly rare modern classic, there are only 4 left on UK roads. Likely one of the very last examples in Ireland, if not the very last. Returned to the road, it would be a fascinating modern classic to drive and enjoy, one sure to appreciate in value. With traction control, ABS, electronic ignition and multi point electronic fuel injection, it could also be a reliable and economic daily driver, if one desired. A 90’s Volvo, it always proved exceptionally reliable with low fuel consumption. Annual tax in 2025 will be 56euro. Unburdened with the complicated electrical systems and built in obsolesce of modern cars, this Volvo was designed and built to endure. A rare special S variant, it possesses additional options such as heated front seats, Blaupunkt radio, gas bonnet struts, folding rear booster seats with headrests and a Volvo picnic box, which the car retains. It features the improved later aesthetics of the facelift cars whilst benefiting from the optional 5 speed manual, critical to its appeal as an appreciating modern classic. This car was running until 4 years ago when unfortunately the throttle cable snapped (available for 40 euro). Whilst requiring some work to return to the road, as it is in a good state of preservation this could be achieved quite easily. Not holding the mechanical expertise to return this deserving car to the roads, due to it’s immense sentimentality to us, we would offer to re-purchase it from any buyer. The asking price is 1495 euros, however, as renovation work requires us to move the car this week, we will possibly consider offers above 995 euros. When was the last time you saw a Volvo 460? This is a wonderful car that deserves to be driven, enjoyed and maintained into the future as a rare modern classic that will be greeted with smiles wherever it goes.
