Volvo 240s are never a finnancial risk

[@daw7563]

111.000 miles, it means the redblock is just barelty broken in.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

This is true. Very low for a red block.

[@alanothen3962]

You are a glutton for punishment Jackman - but well done. The 244 doesn’t look too bad… they nearly all rust and wear in the same places, as you discovered with the Rustberg. Good video, many thanks.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

He does love it doesn’t he. To be fair this car is a little battered but is really solid and had a great history and interior. So let’s see what we can do. 👍

What a nice old car My brother had a J plate 740 est and that was a great comfy car to drive

[@tonypage1056]

Nice!

[@ricksampson6780]

Hi Marc, I also suffer from recurring back pain. I've found wearing an elastic waist brace, the type with vertical metal spines, most beneficial.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hi Rick, thank you for the advice I will definitely look into that. Hopefully I can get moving more soon. We have many cars to fix…

[@michaelhynds8035]

A lot of work done in one day. Very well done.

[@andersaxelsson2196]

Nice one

[@lonmar2645]

This is a brave challenge to get it completed in 5 days. Its a good base so should be possible.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hopefully we can do it!

Loving the mix between volvo and mini content. Loads to keep me entertained. Jackman will fly it no problem. Id love to to see an update on the rustberg soon buddy. Love the colour of this one. Keep up the good work lads

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks John we appreciate that. We will be back on the minis soon, there is a update on the 89 coming very soon. Once this is done Jackman plans to get back on the rustberg.

[@Mrtom248]

Great video. Volvos aren't my thing but does look great.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy as soon as this week is over we are back to minis 👍

[@Mrtom248]

Still a great video to watch. ​@@SimpsonsClassics

[@tonystanley5337]

I'd be checking the low voltage getting to the coil and maybe the resistance of the points switch or round trip, just to make sure its not a low voltage wiring issue.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Cheers thanks for the heads up 👍

[@velmathemini]

Between the two of yous, you've got quite a fleet of volvos 👍. No wheel change on this one?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah we seem to attract them right now. Hmm no not yet…

[@velmathemini]

@@SimpsonsClassics needs wheels it'll transform it 👀. Looks good tbh 👍

[@barryford7135]

Hi Marc, my son has got an old Volvo estate he wants to sell. What is a good place to advertise it please?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hi Barry please drop me an email on here [e-mail] I might be able to help if you drop me some info, if not I can also point you in the right direction

[@barryford7135]

@@SimpsonsClassics thanks Marc, I will have a word with my son in the next couple of days. 👍

[@bucknut7241]

[@SimpsonsClassics]
