Sam is 14 years old. He's a 'Volvo Nut' and loves Swedish metal. That's not a band by the way!

Sam was born with very poor hearing and an unusual syndrome that caused learning difficulties among other problems. To compound matters, last year we discovered his kidneys aren't working and he will need medication for the rest of his life.

Sam was struggling during lock-down to manage his home schoolwork. So his dad gave him an old Volvo V70 estate to restore. Immediately, Sam threw himself into this challenge, dismantling parts of the engine, interior and so on. I just hope he remembers where all the parts go! It quickly became obvious that it would be beneficial for Sam to have his own tools to look after, learn how to use. Plus the car needs several items as it has covered relatively high miles and some components are showing their age.

The biggest problem is the bodywork. In the video it looks shiny but in real life its all poor with flaking lacquer and scrapes on each corner. If we could raise any money from this appeal then the funds will help as above and some way towards a quality respray. Hopefully Sam will be left with a vehicle which will reflect his hard work, efforts and dedication. Car of this model in good condition are becoming sought after. Maybe "Betty" as she's called will be an investment for Sam to use when he reaches 21 for funding other important things in his early adult life.

Any help you guys can offer towards the project will be met with delight by Samuel and you'll be doing your bit to held one lad in need and keeping a future classic on the road. Many thanks in advance, Sam and Dad (Tom).
