Yes here is my new 1988 (F Reg UK Chaps) Volvo 740 Turbo in Black.
Its the one without the boot spoiler/polaris.

120,000 miles, FSH for most of it, 12months MOT and 10 Months Road Tax

It needs a little bit of tweeking, but it drives pretty well, i will give it a thorough going over this weekend and perhaps do some mods. It does need slamming, it handles like a barge.

Bodywise, a few small rust scabs, but the ones that are easily treated. A few scratches but a good polish should sort it out.

The Headlining had gone in it, so the owner replaced it with some material his wife had lying around, so i need to sort this out.

So kitsch isnt it.


Big Thanks to SteveP for spotting the car for sale on the most obscure car website ever and telling me about it.

So here's a picture of his pimp 300 to go in this thread.

Two of a kind with the exception of that awesome headliner. I like it and it will grow on you.
Looks like a good old well cared for car. Wish you well with it.
