Riley good looking esprit. I also own Lotus M-100. Nothing quite like a Lotus. The draw to come to V. Beach in the Lotus or the Delorean now greater.

Lotus is actually up in richmond. Thats where i am working on her at. Made a friend whos letting me store at his shop. Message ya when i am done with the car engine is coming out tomorrow for a water pump and new belts lol.
Love seeing these cars from Europe that just don't show up in North America. New ones and old ones for that matter.
Can you tell us a little more about this vehicle?
It's a 1968 volvo 121 that I found in bad shape almost 30 years ago.
This was the kind of cars that was cheap when I got my license, so they where often used and thrown away.
Luckily I was smart enough to save this one.
The 121 is called amazon over here and was prodused between 1957-1970. The estate between 1962-1969

Let me know before she leaves Ric. Will meet up there if possible. I also have shop in Ashland. Good luck with the engine work.
Just so you don't judge me, I usually buy an undervalued exotic every two years instead of a new car. Before I knew it, I was a collector. As you can see, I drive my vehicles.
A little over a week ago I actually bought a 2012 Volvo XC60 with low miles from the original owner with all Volvo service records. I've always enjoyed the looks of the XC60 so finally decided to give it a try. Never owned a Volvo before. I was actually eyeing the R-Design model but for something that's going to sit outside and be a daily driven car, I didn't want something that was going to cause attention really. I was actually aiming for the T6 model with the turbo engine but I saw this one pop up and I was just overall impressed with the condition it was in and how it was taken care of. So yeah!, that's my daily Non-D car I own.
My work van/daily driver. I spend a great deal of time and energy making sure this is one of the nicest, cleanest and organized mobile body shops around.
