I don't have the torque figures for the 760 V6 to hand but the figures for the B230 are as follows -

B230K - 192nm @ 2500 rpm
B230E - 190nm @ 3300 rpm

These are Volvo's stated figures. Given what you've said Dave there's not much in fuel consumption terms for the increased complexity of the B280 over the B230, especially over the very simple B230K - which has always been my preferred choice in the 740.

For comparison Jon :

B280E : 240Nm @ 4500rpm

B280F : 235Nm @ 3750rpm

B230ET : 260Nm @ 3400rpm

B230FT : 242Nm @ 3300rpm

Worth noting all of these are Bosch LH-Jetronic as opposed to the K-Jetronic of the B230E

Low mileage and looks pretty nice and above all, has the 170bhp B280E V6 engine under the bonnet!
Weird that that particular 760 is back up for sale at £1800, I nearly bought that very car from the same seller for £800 a few weeks ago! I passed in the end as the body was a bit too tired (needs a respray as has significant paint fade which doesn’t really show up in these pics and will need to have several dents sorted to make it nice) but it’s a great car otherwise. I was sorely tempted!

When i saw your post, i thought you had accidentally added a "1" to the price Phil - when i posted the link it was advertised at £800, NOT £1800!

Puts a different complexion on things, if the paint is faded as you say then it may clean up with a mop but if not then it's another couple of bags of sand for a respray.

I don't see why not, depends on your mileage though to and from work and a few other things but no different to a 740 in that respect.
