Welcome back! The second gen C70 is fine looking car! Volvo's P1 platform makes for an engaging drive, especially the T5 with 6-speed manual.

I ran 15" 144 wheels on my 850 for a time, it had 280mm front rotors - the calipers cleared the wheels by the slimmest of margins. The C70 has 300 or 320mm rotors so 15 inchers are a no-go.

A user here "Erwin" seems to have had more than his fair share of issues with a P1 C70. His posts might be a good place to find ideas of things to look out for.

Don't get too discouraged about finding a manual transmission one. There aren't many, but I've seen them come up for sale here in New England. May have to be patient is all.

Best of Luck,

Will
