Mo, I'm sure you said in Coventry you didn't know much about these 'older' Volvos, before you know it you'll be buying a 240 glt.

Looks like a nice car, congrats.

Merry Xmas

Ben

Hi Mo, nice car - congratulations! My first Volvo was a J reg 440. I bought it with brand new alloys and tyres at about 55,000 miles. I part-exchanged her with 100.000 miles and I was sad to see her go. My old 440 had the 1700 Renault engine with a carb.

Hi Mo, where does the hose lead to? It looks like it comes from the top of the engine.
