46,000

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL THIS LOT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE AUCTION

The production vehicle was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. Sales began in Europe in the third quarter of 2008 and in North America in early 2009 as a 2010 model. The XC60 has been Volvo's best-selling car since 2009. Manufactured by subsidiary Volvo Car Gent in Ghent, Belgium, the first generation XC60 is based on Volvo's P3 platform and the XC60 shares technology with the Land Rover Freelander of 2007. At the time of development, both Land Rover and Volvo were owned by Ford and development was split between the two subsidiaries. Much of the engineering and tuning of this CUV was done by Volvo in Sweden, although offroad capabilities were developed at Land Rover in England. In April 2010, an R-Design variant of the XC60 became available, featuring a colour-matching body kit, stiffer chassis and damping and other unique exterior/interior trim.

This Japanese imported example is presented in Pearl White with a cream leather interior and it has covered a mere 46,000 miles from new. A 2014 'Facelift Edition' with uprated interior, exterior restyling and improved mechanicals, climate control, adaptive cruise control, emergency brake assist, lane departure warning, cameras and electric heated memory seats. This XC60 comes with a Japanese service record, mileage guarantee certificate plus being serviced immediately prior to auction. The instruments, computer and sound system have been converted to UK units and language. In fabulous condition throughout, this ULEZ exempt petrol engine produces 240bhp and excellent fuel economy.
