Not mine, although I`m tempted to buy it myself. Don`t know if any of you guys know the car, but here`s the link;

Maybe not one for the purists, but a great looking Volvo and a superb engine note.

Speedy is known to a lot of us, he's hugely into the 300 scene.

He's being very honest with the description and is a good bloke. Certainly the car isn't for everyone, it needs a bit more thinking about than a standard car (if only due to the knowledge base that normally exists for cars not holding) but it is a nice one

His and my car at Santa Pod earlier in the year

+ YouTube Video

Was on the RR Birmingham Dawn Drive with this car! It's brilliant! Always loved the 300's since i almost had one when i was 17! As is always said "IF i had the room/money etc etc"

nice car!

Thanks for the comments guys! (woohoo, free advertising). I've now moved on and got myself a 740 Turbo, which I'm sure I'll be posting up about at some point! The 340 is good, but has a couple of niggles. A great car for someone with a little mechanical knowledge.

Free bump!

I don't think I've seen that video before. That's hilarious...the pair of them (i.e. two identical engines) combined sound like a V8!

cheers
