Your Volvo 164E
I must admit I'd really like the car, as I have a light blue 164E which also had running problems when I bought it. That cars fault turned out to be dirty pick-ups on the throttle extension electric thingie which tells the brain how much fuel to pump through. My local injection specialists told me cleanliness there was vital, and they were right (at least on my car) - I had to polish all connectors with Brasso !
However, the trouble is - the ocean ! From what I hear a VERY expensive piece of water to ship cargo cross - makes our Isle of Wight crossing seem a pussycat. Therefore all I can do is encourage you to keep at it and make the car do as it should, so you can continue to enjoy it. There's nothing like the reassuring purr of that smoooooth straight six.
