Just the words "Turbo" and "Intercooler" on the back win it for me!

Possibly the two most manly words of the 80's!

Looking good!! Finding nice looking aftermarket wheels for older volvo's is a ball ache!! Unless you opt for some wheel adapters! Been looking for a cheap set for the 240 ever since I bought her!!

The black 740 looks the mutts nutz!! Is the engine in these the same as in the 940 turbo??

It would be interesting seeing that done to a limo.

Are you going to spray it black or keep it in the original paint?

Home made body kit might be the answer.

This was my 240 ....2.1 N/A Manual but with different headlights and protectors.....those wheels are standard fit.

I`ve had most different Volvo`s going but not the 400 series.

Also my 940 2litre Turbo Wentworth Auto with all leather interior ....had a new replacement engine in this one but still sold it after 6,000miles!!!!.....wanted my first T5 850 a `94 model...

Alex has just found a pic of my 87 740GLE, wish I still had it, It was the only car I've had that I could fit 3 8'x4' sheets of plasterboard inside and shut the tailgate, she was a true work-horse
