It looks like a boggo V70 AWD with the 200bhp 2.5 LPT to me.

The badge on the back seems to just say 'AWD' also.

Even if it was an R... don't bother, those 4WD's had epic power train losses apparently so barely moved once above the speed where traction was an issue!

what CC do they have it listed as?

Easy answer to your question if unsure just phone Ray Chapman in Malton who will confirm what it actually is as they serviced it.
Nothing wrong with an AWD if you look after them just like anything else in life.

Its not a V70 R .
If you read the description you will realise that its a typo error in the heading.

Check this confirmed with dvla this is listed as a v70r awd?

Wtf where is the r interior bumper twin exhaust spoiler etc etc???

And if you also read my 1st post you will see that it is Registed with the dvla as a v70 R awd.

So obviously a little confusion somewhere, but hey looks good.

Oi LOL, nothing wrong the old AWDs, in fact they have a nice low down pull which is great around town. The only problem they had is that Volvo set the maximum boost at 6psi which tails off quickly after 5100rpm. A remap and those old buses are surprising.

Like Jimmie says, they just need looking after.
