I certainly haven't seen any 740/760 on the road in 10 years. Certainly a turbo 760 must be rare.

Turbo redblock outputs vary a bit depending on model/market etc. 150-200bhp is the rough range. Mine is a B230GT - 170 bhp, no cat and manual transmission and a saloon which is a rare combo. Although 170bhp doesnt sound a lot, the torque is quite a step up on the NA engine and its surprisingly quick. The engines also respond well to tuning and its easy to get more power out if you feel the need

Not at the moment no, I have done a massive amount of work on the car over the last year I've had it and i am finally enjoying driving it. I know if I sell it, I will regret it as there are so few now.

Thanks Very nice 760. Love the 740/760 saloon shape.
