Description

This 1988 Volvo 740 GLE has come direct from a film company, having been used on set filming forthcoming Channel 5 drama The Hoard, plus others.

The top-spec variant was registered in October 1988 and is now showing 71,090 miles on its odometer.

However, this total is actually circa 436,000 miles, as the speedometer was replaced during November 2004 according to the history.

Just two registered keepers are recorded, although both were from the same family.

There is no current Mo

T; the last expired in December 2020.

Documentation accompanying the Volvo includes the V5C, various Mo

T certificates back to 2004, and two folders full of invoices between 1991 and 2019.

The two service record books have many stamps up stamped up to an indicated 19,808 miles in March 2009.

Notice to Buyers: Please be aware that all vehicles are sold as seen and without any warranty implied or given.

You must satisfy yourself as to a vehicle's description and condition before you decide to bid.
