-Clean and clear Kentucky title in my name, in hand, registered and insured.
-This Volvo has been a true pleasure to own and drive. I have used this car on many long distance trips with no issue and complete confidence. Additionally, this car has won several best of class awards in the few shows I have entered it in. The Webers and Mallory ignition really wake the B18 engine up, and give the car excellent tractability in traffic and on the interstate allowing for effortless cruising at modern Interstate speeds. I have owned this car for 16 years now and it has never let me down and has been by far the easiest vintage car I have owned. I would really like to see it go to a fellow Volvo enthusiast who appreciates the rarity of the Jensen-built cars and who will continue to use the car as it was intended.
