Minty, she is a lovely car, but she was bought with the intension of moving on again, although it wouldn't take much to persude me to keep it. Driving this most of the month, yesterday I stepped into my 740 to go get petrol in it, and wow, these cars haven't changed much over the years, but the difference in driving is unreal. If I could find a home for my S70 I would keep this one. But SWMBO is managable with 3 Volvo's, if I said I was keeping this one I think I'd be at divorce court lol

Hi Andy,

What turbo is in the car? I think it would be an LPT but just want to double check.

Thanks,
C

Think she is LPT, its the B230FK engine I think, but I need to double check, she's quick and powerful, but she isn't "kick up the arse" power, its a nice progressive acceleration.

James, its only a plane ride and a scenic drive

Your 940 looks well nice!! Before my Sister found my 240 I was looking for a volvo estate up to 1200 pounds when I was in Birmingham and all I saw at the time was rubbish that you wouldn't want even at half the price. Headgasket failiure ripped/broken/filthy interior dog eaten etc. For the price I think someone will get a very good buy. Love the colour too!!

Hope it goes to a volvo lover James

I hope she does as well, she's a lovely big car, don't get me wrong, she's not perfect, but she's one of the better ones I've seen around and with a little bit more work she could be alot cleaner. I want to buff the roof and bonnet, it polished up well, but could be better lol, inside its damn near perfect and everything works except for the warning light for the aircon, but the aircon works.

Now that is one stunning looking car ! Can you shift on the price a little for me ?
