Is that the one with the modified (f*cked with) transmission tunnel?

I love the way the guy tries to justify it in the first paragraph.....okay so maybe the handling isn't Citroenesque but why bother with a Volvo in that case!!!

I think the one on ebay looks very smart, however it doesn't really come with a lot does it, no engine box seats wheels, and if its been modded with that diesel engine in it, will a normal B20 etc fit with the different steering rack/box?

also if you were going to use it for rallying, I wouldn't of thought you would be eligible for any sort of historic class either, which I assume is the type of rallying you would be doing with a 144.

See it for what it is- a worthwhile shell.
Reading his words, he seems quite clear and rational .
Might be worth a look if you are after a car for rallying- it will be presumably coming apart to prep it anyhow.
