Hope you find one, I'm in Huddersfield too. A few other Volvo nuts round here too. I've got a flat front 740 turbo

Hi

Just hope someone on the forum has one that they're willing to part with

Thanks

My thoughts entirely..... don't worry, as you have since seen, those of us who are actually fans of the 760 will be willing to help you

Yes, there were fewer turbos sold than V6, but they do crop up every so often.......you just need to be patient lol!

Any other places you can suggest??

....Volvo 760 Turbo Intercooler Saloon...

If you are after a mk1, there's the mechanically similar (but less luxurious) 740 turbo, or if you want a mk2, there's the mechanically similar (and equally luxurious) 960 turbo.....

would a 960 do? We've got one over here but the postage could be pricey ;-)

That says 940 turbo on the boot and is a two litre.

Still searching... any forum members looking to sell?

This IS a Turbo. Have a look at the photos of the boot badge and the engine bay....

I initially assumed the same when I saw the incorrect "GLE" in the listing....

Looks very clean. Are they around 200 BHP? Certainly my Sister followed one once and said it was accelerating away from her up a hill. I said did it say Turbo Intercooler on the boot lid. It did!

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

A few weeks ago saw a late 940 turbo estate near Aston expressway Birmingham on banded steel wheels driving quickly as evidenced by the puff of exhaust smoke out of the custom exhaust on each acceleration.
