Mer om författaren

Tinkering with and modifying his first car at the age of 18, Tim began a continual learning curve that developed into an obsession, with friends and family often looking for help with buying, selling, fixing and modifying many different vehicles. His love of Volvos however, began in childhood, when his father purchased a huge, shiny car that was very fast and exciting to a young boy, but safe and very comfortable. The car was a Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooler. Fast forward 20 years and you’ll find Tim’s passion and childhood joy combine in writing this essential buyers guide.

Recensioner i media

useful chapters ask whether this is the right car for you, provide relative values, instruct on how to carry out a fifteen-minute evaluation and outline what's involved in a restoration, so the book really provides a lot of ammunition for anyone on the hunt for a Volvo 700 or 900, and is sure to lead them along the path to the best car their money can buy - this is a must-have title for current and future owners of a Volvo 700/900.
