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 coupé 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 stunning silver example with the 2.4 litre turbo engine and automatic gearbox is completed by sporty yet comfortable leather seats and blue hood. Boasting an incredible 5,000 miles from new, this example has had one owner (plus dealer) from new and has remained garaged with the wheels on carpet whenever not one the road. Cared for with amazing attention, this is a time warp example and boasts a comprehensive service history and MoT test certificate valid until February 2026. 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. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
