While I was building up the blue Amazon (YKA 750J) I was
working to a severely restricted personal cash flow (ie none) so prudence and canny
haggling was the order of the day.
As luck would have it, not 3 miles away in Handforth, I
acquired a 2nd Volvo 121 (133 type), this time a desperately rotten 2dr red example, registration HF?
410H, again for £50.
This was one rough old nail, but provided me with a mountain of
spare parts, not least a spare engine, trim and many many mechanical spares, before going for scrap. That was way back in August 1991.
I've now written a buyers guide for the 120 Volvo range, so if you are interested in buying one, why not have a read here: Volvo 120 Buying Advice.
