Description
Description
Volvo debuted the first generation C70 at the 1996 Paris Motor Show and introduced it in Europe as a 1997 model, a year later as a 1998 model in North America. A 2.0 litre, a low-pressure turbo 2.4 litre and a high-pressure turbo 2.0 and 2.3 litre, five-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine was offered with manual and automatic transmissions. Ian Callum designed the exterior and the C70 broke Volvo's decades-long styling tradition of boxy, rectilinear designs and was Volvo's first luxury coupe since the 780. According to a tongue-in-check remark made by Peter Horbury, Volvo's design chief from 1991 to 2002, with the C70, Volvo "kept the toy, and threw away the box!" and "Our vision was to design a convertible that would meet the needs of a family of four looking for comfortable blue-sky motoring in a vehicle also providing stylish looks, performance and faultless driving and road-holding."
This well-presented Volvo C70 convertible boasts the 2.0 litre 20v turbo engine coupled to an automatic gearbox and is finished in metallic silver. It has had just one lady owner from new and covered a mere 38,000 miles. First registered on 5th April 2001, this example has been dry stored for the last 15 years but recently recommissioned, replacing the fuel pump, brake master cylinder, front pads, timing belt and battery. It passed its MoT test on 15th July 2025 with no advisories and is ready for the summer. Originally supplied with optional metallic paint, wind deflector, heated seats, alloy wheel upgrade, leather sports steering wheel upgrade, front and rear mudflaps and reversing sensors that all amounted to an additional £2,493 + VAT. Other than light cosmetic marks this example is in excellent condition and has a service booklet with five stamps, an Ian Callum designed, four seat, turbocharged convertible which oozes luxury and with such low mileage is 'as new', collectable but drivable, it's a real find.
